Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This full-length production will be successful and reach its culmination when more than 3,810 people from Saint Paul and Minneapolis attend workshops, followed by performances on the Saint Paul campus of Saint Catherine University, an institution that primarily serves women. This proximity will also engage faculty and students both on-and-off campus through workshops and classes. Project Evaluation: ADT will coordinate evaluation with The O'Shaughnessy and will employ anecdotal feedback from participants at workshops, rehearsals, story-sharing conversations, and performances, and written surveys of audiences at performances.

Measurable Outcome(s)

2,030 people attended workshops, dialogues, and performances to which 26 artists provided creative input. 962 attendees at the conclusion of two culminating performances provided sustained, standing applause.
