With SYT support, alternatively-schooled students on stage and in the audience will connect to discover personal interpretations of Shakespeare's plays. SYT's Student Matinee Series will create a peer-to-peer feedback loop, as students act and react to Shakespeare's play. A post-show panel discussion and student rubrics will evaluate results. 2: SYT will initiate and deepen relationships with alternative schools located within a 5-mile radius of our new home in Saint Paul. SYT will maintain and evaluate alternative school partnerships by creating several direct communication networks, including a Nontraditional School Advisory Council and post-series surveys.
