Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Broaden arts programming and participation opportunities to under-served constituencies, especially young performers and audiences, and economically disadvantaged individuals. Quantitatively: we seek to include up to 500 new audience members who are part of the identified constituencies. 2: Expand educational opportunities via the Cultural Arts Series, with more workshop, demonstration, and lecture events led by guest professional artists. Quantitatively: we seek to host at least five workshop events in conducted by visiting guest artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We presented a professional actor performing a one-man show, Morgan's Journey, for every second grader in the local school district. We invited every second grader to attend the performance. The local school district coordinated transportation and other logistical matters. Second graders from six area elementary schools attended, with 500 students and 46 adults in the audience. 2: We provided six separate workshops in acting to youth in grades 1-4 and 5-8, and in playwriting to youth grades 5-12. We enrolled a total of 87 students in the workshops, beginning in February and ending in June. There were several return students, whose parents found the workshops to be beneficial to their children.
