Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, 30 children grades 3-12 will experience a live stage performance, many for the first time and will look forward to another future theater experience. Evaluation will occur during and after the production through direct contact with the young performers and the audience and the theater staff will communicate with board and committee members regarding the experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We cast 35 children and young adults (grades 3 - 12) in a live-stage musical production to sold-out performances and we had to expand to a third night. The children's performance was exceptional and the engagement from the audience was dynamic. Several first time actors were inspired and will take part next year.
