Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, elementary and junior high children will improve their acting, singing and dancing skills (if on the stage), or their skills backstage or working at the lights or sound booths. They will become more confident in their crafts! Evaluations will occur through the number of people in attendance at the performances, through my own personal notes, and through follow-up meetings with other adults working with me, but most importantly, I want to see what the students thought.

Measurable Outcome(s)

After The Little Mermaid JR performances, a parent had this to say: "I thoroughly enjoyed [The Little Mermaid JR]. You did a fantastic job of bringing out the talents of the individuals and producing a wonderful performance. Thank you for using your talents to bless the kids." If a parent who was not involved with the process can see how much students have improved their acting, singing and dancing skills, then the proposed outcome of the Win-E-Mac Area Community Theatre has certainly been met.
