Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases through students completing a theater experience and answering that they want to pursue additional summer theater opportunities. Evaluation will occur through a participant questionnaire; notes related to personal observation; and audience, artist, and youth count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The personal observations and interaction with students participating was favorable and positive. Students enjoyed their summer theater experience and the opportunity to work with "experienced/positive directors." Audience reaction to student performance was positive, you see the smiles and positive reaction from parents, grandparents, and community members watching students perform!
