Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Singers/actors will bring an unknown score/script to an accurate and authentic life (Stage Dir); dancers will learn new choreography (Choreographer); musicians will prepare score with accuracy and musicianship (Music Dir); and, Technical/Set Designer and Costumer will create sets, costumes, and lighting, that will create, with the help of a crew of volunteers, a successful compliment to the music theater production. As a result of the above, the audience will have a satisfying arts experience. Questions for the participants and directors, will provide them with an opportunity to tell a story about their experiences. Survey questions for audience survey will allow statistical analysis and the opportunity for written comments will provide additional anecdotal information.
