Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

400-600 young people and adults attended an original production of Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT performed by an ensemble of fifteen independently-educated teenagers. Rubrics showed that 90% of ensemble members reported a boost in confidence and an increase in creative/artistic expression after participating in the development/performance of TWELFTH NIGHT. Promotional results, audience attendance/reaction, and ensemble experiences will be qualitatively/quantitatively evaluated post-performance. The evaluation plan includes creation of one rubric for ensemble and one survey for audience, created by arts specialists and the SYT team.

Measurable Outcome(s)

An ensemble of 15 youth ages 13-19 developed and performed a uniquely accessible and physical interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy Twelfth Night to 479 youth and adult audience members over 5 performances. Audience surveys showed that 81% found the production relevant to our world today. Participant rubrics showed that 100% were proud of the production and the work they did to create it.
