Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will take my show to curbsides or grassy fields as I engage new venues and gatherings for a puppet show. I will forge good working relations with each new presenter. I will provide surveys to presenters to evaluate their satisfaction with our program. We will assess the likelihood of their inviting us back, or being inclined to have other touring artists. 2: I have chosen a number of communities and types of venues in my tour that I have not previously visited. Evaluation will assess numbers of audience in attendance, audience response to the program, evaluation of touring artists as to the success of the show in the particular venue.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We presented fifteen shows at thirteen non-theater venues. 2: I toured The On-Time Circus to thirteen venues, and nine of the eleven presenters were new to me. The venues were all non-traditional settings for theater to take place.
