Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, youth ages 8-16 will experience an increase in knowledge and skills about performing arts through hands-on activities in dance, singing, acting, and stage combat. Evaluation methods include surveys administered pre and post-activity to measure the knowledge they have before the activity and what knowledge they have gained after the activity in youth ages 8-16.
