Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our theatre program is particularly valuable as If Is offers alt children, regardless of their financial ability or physical, cultural or religious background. The program is free of charge to the children who participate. A parent survey evaluates the satisfaction of the parents and children involved. A graffiti board for the children describes their experience in the production. The best barometer of success is the final performance. The look of satisfaction and smiles on the children’s faces at curtain call is the defining moment of the week.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As the only theatre opportunity available outside of school, it is so desirable that one participant traveled two hours to participate. Our program is inclusive, with quite a diverse group of students which also saw families with multiple children participate with no charge.
