Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Twenty to twenty-four greater Minnesota communities host 40 performances of Love in the Time of Cholera. Track number of performances, audience members and event participants; list of counties served. 2: Mixed Blood works with at least 30 Hispanic organizations and media outlets, and its presenting partners, to promote Love in the Time of Cholera. Track the number of Minnesota communities engaged; list entities/community leaders engaged and/or involved beyond the project host; list of Hispanic media and community outlets engaged.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Approximately 412 Minnesotans viewed Love in the Time of Cholera (aka Corazon Eterno) in two communities for three performances. Performance and financial records with appropriate data and verbal assessment by participating artists and tour staff. 2: Mixed Blood worked with twelve Hispanic organizations and outlets to promote Love in the Time of Cholera (Corazon Eterno). Our community engagement officer (CEO) worked with Mixed Blood's Latino Advisory Council (LAC) to reach out through the twelve aforementioned networks of organizations and media. The CEO met with the LAC to determine the degree to which they had been successful in their outreach efforts to bring Hispanic community to the program. However, the number of actual audience members from the Hispanic community is not known.
