Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Ten performances of Fidgety Fairy Tales will reach 1000 audience members. We will take an audience count at each performance. Additional methods include capturing feedback during our post performance Q and A sessions as well as a brief audience survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We reached our audience goal with 1000 people in 10 different performances throughout the Twin Cities. Audience surveys were very positive. "My sister has autism and said, 'I was thinking about Little Miss Muffet, and how there's more behind a temper tantrum than just wanting to be in control. Like she was really scared.' I have never heard her process tantrums/outbursts this way."
