Arts Learning

Through this program, ALL young artists will be able to use correct theatre terminology related to the production, and will be able to demonstrate respectful critique of each other’s work. Junior Designers, Stage Managers, and Junior Directors will be able to demonstrate learning/knowledge related to their specific area of theater production. We anticipate this program engaging 25 youth, with approximately 10 of those youth in these Junior Production Team roles. Everyone involved in all Youth Performance Program programs – artistic staff, youth participants, and parents – will be expected to complete an anonymous evaluation of their experience related to each program. Educational outcomes for participants will be evaluated throughout the rehearsal and production process, through Junior Production Team presentations and demonstrations, assignments, the final production, and post-performance Q and A discussions. Patrons at performances will be asked to complete an audience survey in their program. All of this information will be crucial in helping us evaluate and improve future programming. Youth Performance Program staff will also meet with the program supervisor within two weeks of the production closing to debrief about the experience, review parent and youth evaluations, and discuss future programming.
