Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to create an artistic theatre opportunity for all elementary kids to participate in. By being in this production, my hope is that young people will gain in confidence and self-esteem. I really want to make sure I offer opportunities to students that may not have found their "fit" yet for using their natural gifts and talents. The theatre is a very welcoming environment and it is important for all kids to feel like they belong to something. I will ask participants to provide testimonials about how they felt about being in the play and if it helped them grow in these stated areas.
