Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative outcomes we hope to achieve include engaging 30 different actors, 10 different directors, and 10 different playwrights in producing the original plays; in addition we hope to attract 1,250 attendees to the festival. Qualitative outcomes we hope to achieve include 95% of participants indicating an increased ability to connect and grow artistically with colleagues through this activity.We will evaluate anticipated outcomes through the following means: number of participating actors and directors in the Festival; attendance reports generated through box office ticket sales and volunteer assignments; audience and participant surveys; and post-performance feedback from participants and attendees.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most significant quantitative outcome was in the number of artists and attendees: 27 actors, 10 directors, and 10 playwrights produced the original plays; we attracted 1139 attendees to the Festival, with many new attendees; Four playwrights attended, two of them traveling from out of state to see their works brought to life on stage.
