Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, community members of all ages will participate in and be introduced to new and expanded arts experiences - visual, literary and performing opportunities. Evaluation will occur through audience numbers, artist reception numbers and follow-up meeting with theater staff.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Shows for the musical were completely sold out as were the tickets for the Annie Fitzgerald concert. Cooperative efforts with our local movie theater allowed 300 students to take part in the film festival this year. New experiences were offered and well received with comments.
