Measurable Outcome(s)

386 youth and adult learners gained knowledge and skills in theatrical crafts through workshops, intensives, and apprenticeships. 2: 386 youth and adult learners benefited from public and alternative transportation routes as well as low-cost registration with scholarships available.
