At least 25 area children will participate as actors. At least 80% will report their experience was enjoyable and educational and that they want to do it again, and 50% or more will report that they learned something new. One or two high school students will participate as tech crew (lights and sound) and video recording crew and will report that they learned something new about off-stage activities connected with a theater production and that they enjoyed the experience and would be interested in doing it again.Participants and parents of participants will complete a survey assessing their level of enjoyment, what they learned, and the skills they gained through participation in the program.
We had 34 youth participate, which as 9 more than estimated and of the 14 youth actors that completed surveys, one was a newcomer to Prairie Fire Theater Productions and Pequana Playhouse. All but one youth participant reported learning skills from the experience such as acting, voice projection, line memorization, etc. Most described the experience in a very positive way and wish to be in another production next year. Parents surveyed overwhelmingly agreed that this was a positive experience for their child and helped them with confidence and public speaking skills for school.
