Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The foremost artistic goal was to produce an original theatrical work of high quality that used original sources. The financial and experiential goals were to provide arts opportunities, actors, musicians and other theatrical personnel an opportunity to bring an original work to the stage and to be paid for their efforts.We used two methods for evaluation. One was a survey and comment sheet and the other was a talk back session held after the Friday and Saturday performances.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The comments we did receive were very flattering, all ranging from a high of 10 to a low of 8 on a scale of 1-10. Of the suggestions received, most were practical concerns such as having longer intermission to allow use of restrooms and concessions.
