Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This project meets a community need for group singing, which can be a unifying, uplifting, transcending experience. My hope is that this story will bring our community together, showing that the ideas of redemption being for anyone, forgiveness of self and others, love changing everything, and a "cup of human kindness" are aspirations worth working toward. I hope this production will bring some people together whose lives would have never mingled otherwise. I also believe we will have a high quality production, unique and creative, that will build upon the production from last year. Our hope is that the actors will grow in musicality and leave rehearsals filled with the joy of music. We have not done the typical paper survey in the program evaluation yet and it is time. It is a good time for AMP to solicit feedback from audience and participants. Questions will be crafted as a board, asking the crucial questions that will assist the organization in moving forward. Participants will also surveyed.
