Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To introduce Rochester audiences and artists to the award-winning work of an exciting contemporary playwright through the production. To capitalize on the intimacy of the Rep's venue in the presentation of this technically challenging work. To provide access to participate and to raise the quality and types of opportunities in our region.Audience response at individual performances in addition to feedback received following the production. A review of the play is also printed in the Post Bulletin. For this production a special talk back session was held following one performance, requested and attended by members of a local American Association of University Women book club.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Although a formal survey was not conducted for this specific production, we were overwhelmed with the number of calls and comments from audience members lauding the play itself, the originality of the set design, the execution of the special effects, and the high level of performance on the part of the actors.
