Measure for measure…

WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE!  Help us grow: Take our Festival Evaluation Survey!  

YOUR CHOICE: To provide feedback, based on how much time you wish to devote to our initiative, CHOOSE 1 of 4 simple ways to pass information to us:

1. ONE or TWO QUICK COMMENTS: Send an email to Robin@IowaShakespeare.org and tell us something specific that you feel it is important for us to know.  Remember: it is just as important for us to know what you liked as where we need to improve!  (Know that we will try to answer you when we can, but we are a 100% volunteer office and in order to keep the festival free, we lack the type of staffing needed for personal replies!)
2. SIMPLE: For an even more helpful level of feedback, fill out our EASY interactive Feedback form on this page, immediately below.  Every question invites you to provide important information that helps us retain and get grant or sponsor funding to keep Shakespeare free!
3. DETAILED INFORMATION: Want to be thorough and particularly helpful? Go to our Evaluation section and download one the more detailed Evaluation forms you can find there. These forms invite you to answer the detailed questions we explore with focus groups. Fill out a form of your choice and snail mail it to us at 669 20^th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50314. 
4. BY HAND: Not a fan of computers or on-line communication? Drop a note to us in the Bard Basket or at the Festival Gate.  Or, use the convenient 1-page Tear Sheet from your Festival program: simply fill it out and put it in the Basket OR snail mail it to us at 669 20^th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50314.
