Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

25 underserved Burnsville elementary students will rehearse and perform an original musical. Of those students, 80% of the registered participants will experience technical theater for the first time and will perform on a stage that is conducive to a professional theater experience. 200 audience members will attend the "pay as you are able" community performance, including family members, members of the community, and teachers and staff from ISD #191. Participants will complete an oral survey that will include requests for feedback regarding their experience and interest in future projects. An audience survey will be distributed during the community performance requesting feedback on their experience; feedback requests may include accessibility to the performance, how the audience member was notified about the performance, and thoughts about the quality of the performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Project success was reached by introducing 25 participants to aspects of musical theater. 90% of the participants experienced technical theater for the first time and performed a complete musical. 96% of participants stated in an oral survey that they desired to continue their performing arts education by participating in a future project. 225 audience members attended the community performance.
