Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect 40 youth participants. Additionally, we expect 150 adult and 360 youth and senior audience members. We expect 90% of our participants to respond to the survey that they felt the process was inclusive, supportive and educational. We plan to survey participants, parents and audience members about the process and the production. In addition, we will seek formal feedback from our participating adult artists and other performing arts educators in our region.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 42 youth participants and 558 audience members attend. Exit interviews with parents and artists showed that they were encouraged by this unique opportunity and 90% plan to be engaged next year in some capacity.
