Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, student-playwright and student-actor participants in the 2nd Annual Student Theatre Original Play Performance will experience a significant change in knowledge and skills, as well as a measurable change in awareness, of short-play invention and production through the writing of, and acting in, short theatre scripts on topics of the writers' choices. Student evaluations via one-on-one interviews administered intermittently to measure growth in learning, and feelings of engagement and interest. Audience evaluations via survey questions administered during the performance to determine why they attend and if they'd do so again. Artists evaluations via open-ended conversation to determine their perspectives as professional artists.
