Regional residents, artists, and students experience increased access to the arts and arts activity via the active presence of Northern Light Opera Company providing various arts opportunities: the annual summer musical (Chicago -2024), NLOKids Theater Camp; and WorkBench workshops in playwriting and filmmaking. Evaluation methods include surveys administered after the arts experience to measure perceived value of the arts experience, as well as comments made by audiences, participants and volunteers, and pictures and video recordings of arts experiences for archival and learning purposes.
