Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

PRI partners with CTC to provide free customized theater training to twenty PRI clients (including transport) culminating in a participant designed performance. The project outcome will be evaluated using quantitative and qualitative data gathered via group interviews, feedback, observations, project design, and surveys administered during the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

PRI and Children's Theatre provided a one year theater project to adults with disabilities (staff and transportation included) ending with two performances. The project was evaluated from reports that staff (of both CTC and PRI) and PRI clients provided, as well as reactions to the performances (some of which are captured on unedited video that we are happy to share with MSAB once edited). PRI evaluated actual expenses invoiced from CTC and our own costs. That gave a clear understanding of what it takes financially to implement such a program. This confirmed achievement of program and the project outcomes.
