Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our proposed outcomes include both quantitative and qualitative results: quantitatively, we will sustain or expand the volume of youth participants in our Adventures in Broadways residency program, still attracting a diverse youth population and high male youth participation, compared to previous years. Qualitatively, we will introduce and/or enhance skills through the interactive residency by giving youth opportunities to dance, act, and sing and expose youth and audience members to a variety of Broadway musicals, meeting the needs of our youth and parents in their request for more theater and dance opportunities. We will evaluate our program through paper and online evaluations, follow-up discussions with the youth participating, The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts Director of Education, Jessi Fett, and resident artists, Renee Guittar and Rush Benson, School-Age Care staff involved in the project, and parents of the youth. We will also evaluate the success of the program by the number of participants and audience members compared to prior years, including an evaluation of the demographics of the participants.
