Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, school age children in the Fertile-Beltrami communities will have access to a Summer Arts and Theater experience that they will view as high quality and provide learning of new theater skills. Evaluation will occur using a questionnaire after the final play, meeting with the student participants, directors, and community members to gain feedback on the quality of their experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Excellent feedback from students participating in the program- most notably- one of our parents shared that her daughter really enjoyed the process and is now passionate and looking forward to another play opportunity next summer- which is significant because this parent talked about how shy her daughter was and that she was very surprised she wanted to sign up. Also very impressed in how a group of kids can start practicing and in 5 days put on a live performance in front of people!
