Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys will show that 75% of audience members will learn new information about the benefits of eating local food. Attendance figures will show that Sod House Theater increased it's youth attendance to 25% of the audience being eighteen or under. Audience surveys will be distributed after each performance, which will include 5-7 questions on the benefits of buying and eating local foods, the production, and future plans to attend site-specific work. Partner conversations will center on the nature of the collaboration, future partnership possibilities, use of produce statistics, and meaningful connections to organizations like Minnesota grown and The Farmer's Union. Data gathering and analysis will also calculate the numbers of artists participating in performances; tickets sold; shows performed; and neighborhoods in which audience member reside. We will share our findings with our community partners through written summaries and dialogue, and with our funders through final reports.
