Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the school aged children and the audience will gain a new appreciation for theater and gain self confidence. Evaluation will occur through counting actual audience members and a youth participant questionnaire given on the last day of the workshop that asks about their development of theater skills and knowledge; and their emotional reaction to participating in the workshop and performing on stage in a play.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There were more student participants than we have had in previous years. One of our goals was to enlarge the leadership team to ensure continuance of this arts experience for the children. The current project director, Toscha Larson, mentored the new staf
