Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The children of our community have no local access to theatre arts beyond this summer experience. This event is offered free of charge to all interested students age 7 and above. Attendance numbers reflect the level of access to all in the community. Satisfaction is measured through a parent survey submitted at the end of the performance, and judged by the enthusiasm of the participants.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This program increased community exposure to theatre and encouraged children to become involved. This fall the high school musical has a cast of 48 with 26 of these being Prairie Fire alumni. Prairie Fire Community Theater gives them an early start.
