As a result of this project, seasoned and new community actors and musicians will develop performance skills through working with professional performers and directors and will be interested in future participation in community arts projects. Evaluation will occur through counting audience, artist, and youth numbers and a participant questionnaire; interviews and participants' self-description of their impressions will provide further evaluative materials.
Beginning actors and actors with experience developed performance skills through participating in workshop activities with professional actors and directors and through using those skills immediately as part of an ensemble cast. All reported they learned something, and they want to participate again. Four are now in another community theater play.
Participants described the experience as energizing, fun, and fulfilling. They felt the audiences appreciated the performance and interactions.
