Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with production planners personal observations counting audience numbers and a participant survey given at the end of the production that asks about their development of theater skills and knowledge.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I was pleased with the amount of talent of the students involved. Most students involved had had previous theatrical experiences, though some students will look back at Into the Woods as their first-ever experience on a stage. I will always think fondly back to one student in particular who started this journey too anxious and shy to sing even in front of her friends, who five weeks later belted it beautifully in front of a full audience. Her life was certainly changed for the better.
