Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of the Icebox Radio Theater and this grant is to continue to grow our audience as well as the cultural significance of our art form (audio theater) by creating plays of artistic merit and high entertainment value. And to help our actors and artists grow creatively through these productions. We will use a combination of listener metrics (online statistics on our number of downloads and streaming accesses) and listener polls. The polls focus on what the audience liked about the previous season and what they would like to see changed in coming seasons.
