Broader access and awareness to the theatrical arts through outreach was created. The improv team is portable entertainment. They booked six shows in small, rural communities during the grant timeline as well as for a North and South Dakota organization of rural pilots. They performed for over 1,000 people in these gigs. In July 2018 the youth participating in summer theater camp volunteered to help serve food, beverages, and entertainment up at the Bethany Homes' (nursing home) Social. The music and dancing were from Singin' in the Rain. They performed and mingled with the approximately 175 +/- residents of Bethany Homes in attendance. Students ages 8-11 have limited exposure to theater arts in the elementary schools. Andria Theatre offered a theater arts camp opportunity during which 43 youth attended and performed Sleeping Beauty Kids as a capstone project. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participated in the arts. In the year between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 there were 326 actors of all ages volunteering tens of thousands of hours for stage productions; seventeen orchestra members volunteered 49 hours each for The Wizard of Oz; there were 150 usher volunteers for the 52 performances each putting in approximately four hours each performance. The actors included people from the LGBTQ community, actors on the autism spectrum, and one down syndrome actor. The actors represented various ethnicities.
