Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

LGBTQ teens' mental health will be supported through the process of creating and performing a musical theatre work. Participant surveys before rehearsals begin and after performances have been completed. 2: Audiences at sites throughout the Twin Cities will have increased awareness about mental health issues affecting LGBTQ youth. Audience surveys, feedback during post-performance Q and A discussions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcome 1: Audiences gained empathy and understanding of children with mental health disorders. Feedback during post performance discussions and a post performance survey. Outcome 2: Performances reached audiences that don't typically attend musical theatre by performing at sites where communities already gather. A post performance survey asked how many musical theatre performances they had attended in the past year.
