Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, youth in our area will receive one-on-one attention and the opportunity to perform during the Covid-19 crisis Evaluation will occur through a virtual follow-up meeting with planners and artists, notes from personal observations, audience, artist and youth numbers and an online questionnaire to the participants and their parents about their experience

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our outcome was greater than we could have imagined. While there was little/no revenue generated, the activity formed a close bond with our performers, gave new people a chance to hone their skills and be a part of our performances. Our Facebook interaction gained momentum over the course of the summer.
