Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 30 different youth will experience improvisation classes in a professional theater setting. Over half of participants surveyed will indicate an increase in confidence after attending the sessions. Attendance will be tracked to determine first time and repeat visits from youth. Feedback discussions and a short survey will be administered to track perceived participant confidence and skill levels.

Measurable Outcome(s)

23 different youth participated in this class series with a total of 51 repeat visits. The majority of youth surveyed indicated that their confidence increased after participating in each class, which is huge considering the instability that youth are facing every day.
