Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota Folklore Theater will increase senior citizen participation 30% with the addition of May Creek Seniors participating with project. The engaging of minority (Native American) families at the Fezziwig's Feast will increase diversity in the arts for youth. This project will break economic, age and diversity barriers to arts access in our area. The numbers from this year to past years holiday festivals will be compared. Data from ticket sales will be used to gather age groups. Family demographics are gathered at the Fezziwig's.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successfully provided a quality theater experience for the community targeting the under-served populations of senior citizens and Native American populations. Audience participation in those two targeted groups increased by a total of 31% over previous performances.
