Over 50% of the participants, ranging from age 10-adult, will report making new and/or stronger connections to the theme of facing life’s narrow passages. To measure success towards the project outcome, Z Puppets will collect informal and formal audience response through the two most effective evaluation methods from the pilot run: post show conversations and online surveys. They will track attendance, zip codes and ages of youth participants via an online ticketing platform and in- person box office.
Moving online changed the audience we reached, with participants across the world. It was challenging to engage people in the huge flow of online entertainment options, ranging from Disney to celebrity events. The amount of youth who engaged in "Through the Narrows" was lower than we anticipated. Many families were busy figuring out online schooling and were not seeking more "screen" time.
