Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal during the upcoming year is to increase the opportunities for participants within the Project Power Program to participate in a variety of performing dramatic arts experiences which are accessible and affordable to people who otherwise might have limited exposure to different forms of art. It also would provide us with the opportunity to explore the possibilities/interest level of producing a play in the future. Our goal would be to have 15-40 participants in each of the experiences for an approximate total of 80-90. After the workshops and Anastasia musical, participants will will be asked if they would like to perform in a play/musical in the future. They will have the opportunity to give their answers verbally, gestures or sign language. We will also track the cultural diversity and participation by people of color to see if those numbers increase due to our outreach through the Metro North program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

91 participants were able to attend their choice of activities provided by five different artists/organizations. 60% of respondents were able to participate in a virtual arts performance opportunity which was a first time opportunity for 100% of them.
