Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, participants in the production of "Cinderella" will learn various acting and production skills which they will use in their performance. Along with these skills the actors will broaden their general knowledge of theatre. As a result of this program, our community is able to attend and enjoy a quality theatre experience and see the skills the actors have learned as they present the play. The actors will take part in a written survey asking them to indicate the acting and production skills they have learned as well as the general knowledge they have gained of theatre. For the younger actors we will administer the same survey verbally and the actors will respond orally. This survey will be completed on one of the last days of practice. The audience members will be asked to complete a brief written survey immediately following each performance which will ask them to indicate the acting and production skills they observed the actors using. The audience will also be asked about the level of enjoyment they experienced during the performance and how much they value the activity being offered in our community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, participants in the production of "Cinderella" learned various acting and production skills which they used in their performance. Examples: learning areas of the stage, voice projection, body direction, memorization (repeating lines, writing lines on paper). They also learned general knowledge of theatre. As a result of this program, our community was able to attend and enjoy this production and see the skills the actors had learned as they presented the play.
