Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, school aged children will feel more comfortable and motivated to participate in our summer programs, enhancing their skills and, thus, their confidence in themselves and their abilities on stage. Evaluation will occur through questioning youth participants about their experience, whether by paper/pencil or asking questions throughout the process, counting numbers of youth who attend the workshops and how many of the workshop participants audition for shows, and by meeting as a group to discuss the outcomes and processes.
