Alternatively schooled actors ages 12-19 shared two audio drama productions with their communities in a safe and innovative format via The Dream Project initiative, a purpose-built web platform that hosts audio dramas, educational materials, and behind-the-scenes video features. Student actors reported that participating in the Dream Project made them feel part of a community and respected as active creative collaborators. All students shared that working on the Dream Project helped them feel connected to SYT and the Twin Cities arts community during mass shutdowns. The Dream Project was shared with a virtual audience of approx. 1,200 users, about half of whom are Minnesotans based on analytics and audience feedback. Evaluation was conducted via one on one student interviews with all student participants, written reflections from students, and post-mortem meetings with staff, leadership, and artistic collaborators.
