Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of NLOKids Theater Camp, children from a predominantly white community and children from a predominantly Native American community will work together to experience increased knowledge and awareness of theater arts - song writing, script creation, set building, stage movement, improvisation, singing, and acting - as they prepare a 20-25 minute original music theater presentation as a culmination experience for family, and community friends. Pre camp survey will be developed and administered by camp director and assisting artists. Camp director and assisting artists will develop a check sheet to keep track of children's participation in specific theater arts activities and to document cooperation with other participants. A 4-minute video of the final 20-25 minute music theater production will be created. The video will show a positive attitude and enjoyment of the participating children.
