Arts Activities Support

We expect between 700-800 audience members (artists and members of the community, of all ages) to attend THE HOTHOUSE over 16 performances, and that 8 union artists (7 AEA -- 6 actors, 1 production stage manager -- and 1 Stage Director/Choreography) and a minimum of 6 nonunion artists and/or interns will be served by participating in THE HOTHOUSE. We expect surveys to show that at least 50% of the audience experienced the material and actors of THE HOTHOUSE in a new, unexpected, and exciting way, that at least 50% of the audience enjoyed the nontraditional format of our production of THE HOTHOUSE, and that at least 50% of the audience felt artistically, creatively, and positively challenged, and at last 75% of the audience felt their theater-going experience was enhanced by our production of THE HOTHOUSE.We will evaluate the success of our production in several ways, but primarily in these two: audience surveys, with questions that detail their experience attending their performance of THE HOTHOUSE (to be filled out at the performance; distributed in the programs and collected post-show); and post-performance discussion with the audience face-to-face, through email, letter, and other forms of communication (such as Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, which has been a successful way of gleaning information for us in the past).
