Arts Activities Support

There will be sixteen artists involved in this production which will be attended by 1,600 people at the Dowling Studio of the Guthrie Theater. 90% of the artists and 80% of the audience members will express a positive response to the production through various post show evaluations. Success will be evaluated by measurements such as: the five Full Circle core artists will carry out an assessment of the artistic success of the project; we'll provide surveys so that audience members can evaluate the artistic quality of the piece as well as its social and emotional impact; we'll assess audience response based on these surveys, on audience comments and reactions during post-play discussions, and on personal discussions; the surveys will also help us evaluate if we have attracted a diverse audience. We'll ask actors to complete surveys after the close of the show to evaluate their experiences in the production; request feedback from community groups or group facilitators/leaders to evaluate our success in attracting audiences and targeted community-based groups; analyze ticket sales, attendance, and the overall financial success of the project through monitoring of financial results by the board.
