Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will be skilled in working collaboratively on an arts project. Participants will learn lines, songs and dance to perform a show. Participants will learn the discipline required to perform a live theater show.We will hire an outside evaluation person to shadow the project, interview participants and document the children's progress in a qualitative and quantitative manner. This person will tabulate the results and share them with participants, parents and the Staples Motley Area Arts Council board. The $300 amount in the budget will be paid to the evaluator for their services.
