Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

2: "Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events." I would like to change the attitude towards arts and what that means as a student at LqPV school district 8: "Regional residents learn new arts skills and techniques." All students who participate in the production and parents of those students. Also all audience members will be able to see the possibility of an elementary drama department. I will do a participant survey. This will go out to the student and their parents on their views towards theater as a student.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to introduce theatre production to 19 students who had never been in one in their life. We had hoped this number be higher, but with how the world is right now this is what we were able to get participate. We were really able to make a grand impact on the children that participated. In return, those students told their friends how amazing it was and many more want to join when we do it again next year!
