Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Making ticket prices below the normal amount, Brave Community Theatre hopes to attract an audience of those who rarely/never attend a theatrical performance. Production of original script (tragedy) is unique opportunity. Free student ticket to STEM students and others. Audience discussion, survey online and on site, interviews published in four newspapers, careful tracking of revenue, survey of actors and tech regarding this abstract/tragedy production.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had hoped to meet with students and drama clubs throughout the area and because of the summer vacation, they were impossible to contact. However we were pleased with response and engagement in discussion at show.
