Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Community members of all ages will experience a quality musical production while choirboys will learn more about the theatrical arts. Written evaluations from creative team members and choirboys will be combined with online audience evaluations to assess the quality and community impact of both the artistic production and final artistic product.

Measurable Outcome(s)

89 Central Minnesota youth worked with professional theatrical artists, musicians, and choreographers in the study, development, and performance of a fully-staged theatrical production. More than 2000 Central Minnesota residents observed a performance of these works, including more than 800 school children at our school matinee performances, as tracked by ticket reservations.
