Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, our school-aged participants will expand their skills as young stage actors, singers, and dancers, in their understanding and delivery of their overall performance. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, counting actual audience members, and a youth participant questionnaire given on the last day of the musical drama camp that asks about their development of theater skills and knowledge; and their emotional reaction to participating in the musical drama camp and performing on stage in a musical production.
