Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the school aged children and the audience will gain a new appreciation for theater and gain self confidence. Evaluation will occur through counting actual audience members and a youth participant questionnaire given on the last day of the workshop that asks about their development of theater skills and knowledge; and their emotional reaction to participating in the workshop and performing on stage in a play.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our students performed two separate musicals and used the new microphones for both productions. The quality of the performance due to the new microphones enhanced the school aged children's appreciation and understanding and also enhanced the appreciation
