Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide access to theater arts opportunities to 40+ youth and adult actors, 6+ staff members and 800+ audience members from Dakota County and the surrounding communities. Actor surveys show that 85% of actors felt improvement in development of artistic skills and 95% felt growth in contemplation about themes present in the production (including; what it means to lead a business, responsibilities associated with leadership, gender-work stereotypes, and work conditions for those with physical limitations historically in America, etc.). Outcomes associated with number of actors, staff and audience members participating in the production will be evaluated through counts of number of persons within each group. Outcomes associated to improvements in artistic disciplines as well as contemplative and reflective disciplines will be gathered through actor surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Children's Castle Theater's production of "Disney's Newsies" provided advanced theater arts training to 40 actors (34 youth and 17 adults) from Dakota County and the surrounding communities. All actors in the production were given the opportunity to receive professional trailing in dialect and voice with the majority of actors also receiving training in stage combat and dance.
