Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We hope to include as many as 60+ young children, youth and adults in our project. Cast participants showed 95% of their ability to creatively express themselves. We plan to keep an accurate count of cast members we have for this project. We look forward for post-performance feedback from community members.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had a quantitative amount of 200 people at one performance. We achieved are artistic goals. We found that using many children in the production paid off. We split lead children roles with two actors. We had great turn out for our auditions and cast 90% of those who auditioned.
