Artists and Mentors will improve theatrical, communication, and social skills as well as self-confidence and independence. Artists, mentors, and parents will complete pre- and post-production surveys evaluating theatrical, communication, and social skills and perceived levels of self-confidence and independence, as well as their relationship with Penguin Project and NSTC.
Northern Starz Theatre Company was able to provide high quality, inclusive, educational theatre programming. Northern Starz provided both Pre and post-production surveys to actors, mentors and peers to evaluate theatrical, communication, and social skills; along with perceived levels of self-confidence and independence before and after the Penguin Project.
