Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience past surveys showed that 90% of participants asked for this type of art form, and other story telling art forms, as it was evident that many had grown up in the old-time radio broadcast era, post WWII/Korean War. We conduct ongoing class evaluations with Wilder Foundation staff and Theater NOW staff to assure that each class and the participants are meeting their needs based on their special needs and we structure future classes accordingly. We survey both participants and staff/caretakers to assess overall participation and excitement, and discover new ideas based on the feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We know that our senior community continues to look forward to our next program and each participant comes fully prepared and engaged to work towards their individual and collective performance goals. Our audience surveys and Wilder Foundation staff surveys, show that 97% of the senior population give positive feedback for this and each one of our performance learning programs.
