Participants of all ages will be directly affected by this season. People over the age of 18 will be the focus for casting for the non musical shows, with many children being cast in the musical Alice in Wonderland. In addition, the internship program pulls people aged 14+. Support people will also draw from across the board as far as ages. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Sweet Delilah Swim Club are more mature offerings for adults while Alice in Wonderland will appeal to youth. ?Evaluation methods include participant surveys of actors and support people in the non-musical offerings, include creative impressions from cast members in the musical Alice in Wonderland, and paper surveys, and presentation of a project for those taking part as interns in order to measure the breadth and scope of knowledge learned via the experience. Teachers are also asked for input regarding what they observed from their students during the performances. Often the cast receives letters from various schools directly telling them what was special about the performance. Actors cherish these "letters" they receive from the young people.
