Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More participation access with over 20 roles for age group age 10 to adult to nurture young talent by casting them with experienced actors. We also joined Austin Literacy team to encourage reading by seeing play with familiar storybook characters. Online survey for teachers who bring students and public asking for feedback about production and what motivates them to attend. Attendance data collection and videotaping is Matchbox Children’s Theatre policy for each play. We also invite kids to send us letters and drawings.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Reach underserved audience via collaboration with Austin Literacy Team + give tickets to Head Start and Welcome Center.
