Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project school aged children will experience a musical theater production and will look forward to future participation in theater in the next year. Evaluation will occur through audience questionnaires interviews with actors directors and the number of audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In addition to the cast, we were able to give high school and young adults experience in state management, costume design, and sound/light tech support with the mentoring of our crew. We added a third production time (last year we had extended this to two); two performances were to a full-house and the 3rd performance was 80% full.
