Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, adults actors will experience performance opportunities as either new or in an expanded role, while learning challenging choreography and character acting. We will meet as a team and discuss in depth the project, focusing on what we can do to improve all aspects of our production process. We will also count numbers of tickets sold to measure our post-COVID response and carefully look at publicizing and advertising in the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Actors broadened their skills and knowledge, as measured by production teams and those reviewing their work. After COVID shutdowns, these performers came back with a vengeance and audiences responded.
