As a result of this program, teens/youth will have a deeper knowledge of theater and their performing skills, working as part of an ensemble of like-minded individuals. We will increase our number of participants from 30 in 2021 to 36 in 2022. Evaluations will occur through a meeting with planners and staff, counting tickets sold (audience members) and youth participant questionnaires given each day during their rehearsals (single questions tallied as they enter the rehearsal site) and on days of performance about their reactions to experiences throughout the rehearsal/performance process.
While we did not reach our goal of increasing our numbers from 30-36, we seemed to have made up for lack of numbers by quality of product. Youth involved in Beauty and the Beast grew vastly in their performing skills (it's a DIFFICULT show) and confidence on stage. Many of our cast members were new and/or had not developed leadership skills in previous seasons. Many had no choice but to step up to the plate and lead, and they did so with confidence and greater skill than previously.
