Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continue the work and traditions of Minnesota Folklore Theater Children's theater. Add an understanding and enjoyment of A Christmas story that has endured for years. We will enhance our outreach efforts by including under served youth to our program by including Legion youth groups we are engaging the community with an arts event in a short period of time. The evaluation of this event will be conducted with a physical head count and commentary from parents and a post mortem meeting.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful community theater production with outreach programs reaching underserved youth population. Participation met expectations.
