Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Providing this opportunity for the areas students that may go overlooked or otherwise feel left out in terms of finances or availability is the greatest benefit. Not turning anyone away due to finances or role availability builds joy and inclusion. With our platforms and outreach, we are able to go beyond just the local school district bringing in families from 5-45 miles away. This activity will provide the students involved and the community with joy, nostalgia and a sense of community involvement building encouragement and awareness of how enriching the arts continue to be in contrast with an otherwise athletic centered region. We will know that we have been successful by the outpour of gratitude and praise from the participants, their parents and our overall community engagement tracking. We have a fantastic amount of support over the radius of our Quad Cities area and beyond. Our growth since 2021 proves that we are on an upward track and these shows keep building strength and purpose to continue moving forward to do bigger and brighter things. In addition, we will quantify results by surveying participants, their families and community members electronically.
