Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Tourists, locals and history buffs will be exposed to unconventional outside musical theater, being attracted by familiar ancestral stories and beautiful settings. The museum will expand its role in the community by offering an arts attraction. Evaluation forms for the audience members. Anecdotal records of audience and actor comments. Record museum visitor numbers before and after tours to measure synergy between arts and history.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The museum definitely expanded its role in the community, providing a bridge between the traditional community and the arts community. Audience numbers were double our expectation. Visitors joined the tour when they heard the music.
