Audiences in five Minnesota communities will be uplifted by otherwise unavailable gospel performances, resulting in strengthened community connections. All sites will distribute quantitative surveys to assess past gospel experience, as well as pre- and post-show feelings of community and hope. Results will be compiled and shared with all presenters to identify successes and areas for improvement.
Audiences in four Minnesota communities benefited from performances of work otherwise unavailable in their region. Participant feedback was gathered through surveys and in-person feedback in lobbies; demographic info was collected through attendance and survey data.
