Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Theatre is valuable in raising culturally well-rounded children. This allows exposure to a theatre experience tor children who would not otherwise have this opportunity. It allows increased summertime enrichment in a town where few such opportunities exist outside the school year.One measure of our success will be enrichment close to or equaling the maximum enrollment. This assures us that we are reaching as many children as possible to foster enrichment. We conduct a parent survey after the performance to gather their impressions and learning ways to improve our endeavor.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were happy to have 48 participants in this year's performance. We had a very fun week and the children were extremely proud of their endeavor, as were the parents.
