Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Peter Pan will be performed by 20 to 30 Menahga Middle School students who will receive a theater experience that includes acting, tech work and performance on or before March 31, 2017. Three Menahga High School students will work with the lead artist to act as student and tech directors on the production of "Peter Pan" which will be performed on or before April 15, 2017. The student actors, student directors and artist will self-evaluate the project through a survey and open ended questions to provide information about the theater experience. Student actors, student directors, the artist and project director will view a video recording of the performance to evaluate the effectiveness of the show and evaluate what could have been improved.
