Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, residents and visitors to the Crookston community will enjoy live music and a youth theater production, and experience local, regional, and national performances all while supporting the arts during our summer festival. For the youth theater project: Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with organizers, counting actual audience members, and a participant questionnaire that asks about their youth theater experience, skills learned, and emotional reaction to performing on stage. For the entire festival: Evaluation will occur through a follow-up with organizers, counting festival buttons sold, and an online survey gauging visitors' favorite performances.
