Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 75% of participants in the course will indicate that their ability to share their own story through writing for the theatre has been enhanced. At least 50% of the artists will indicate that their teaching ability has been strengthened. We will use audience/participant surveys. We will use exit interviews with our teaching artists.
