Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

It is our goal that 50 people will indicate that their awareness around a topic addressed in a play was raised by viewing the production. We plan to have 85% of our audience report a positive experience. We plan to use Sparkwise to keep track of our initiatives on facebook, twitter, and polleverywhere.com polls on awareness and positive experience. We intend to upload podcasts of the artists and their experience and productions and gain feedback and start conversations on Sparkwise.

Measurable Outcome(s)

95% of the 58 women in attendance gave the performance a rating of “excellent” for the presentation of varied female voices. 85% indicated that viewing the production raised awareness about an issue and 75% of that number indicated they have or will take action on an issue raised. The artistic excellence of the performers was rated consistently high, with 100% of the audience giving them a 4 on the Likert scale for excellence.
