Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project school aged children will feel comfortable and exited to participate in similar opportunities which breaks down a mental barrier to future participation in theater. Evaluation will occur through participant questionnaire.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our participant numbers were lower. They felt the kids have grown and did a great job. I also believe it was one of the best years we've had with safari staff. Feedback from parents on lower numbers was some families that participated in the past had family vacations planned for this week and/or their child had something else going on. Participants had an amazing week of working with summer safari crew. We had new participants get lead roles this year and have that experience of performing.
