Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
People will be moved, educated and entertained; new people will attend; excitement about our performances will reinforce our position in the community. Audience surveys of all events will determine if we met or exceeded expectations, if people were moved and excited, and if we drew new people. We will also learn if perceptions held about an art form change as a result of a particular performance.
Measurable Outcome(s)
People were moved, educated and entertained by the performances and workshops. We reinforced our position as a presenter of high-level, interesting performing arts.
