Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to reach over 50 youth an active Summer Youth Theatre experience, with over 1,500 people seeing the final performances. We would like to see a 95% success rate in post evaluation for the quality of experience the participants had. We will be counting attendance levels at each performance with a goal of at least 1,500 people. Each family will be provided an opportunity to perform an end of the season evaluation to rate the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This year, for the 1st time in the director's thirteen years, we had to turn participants away. We allowed in 45 participants, and we had families asking how they could make sure to get in next year. Parents show support of the program in their post-show evaluation. In this year's anonymous survey, 93% marked ?extremely satisfied." There were no surveys that indicated neutral or dissatisfied.
