As a result of this program, we will retain 75% of our past youth participants. Evaluation will occur through counting and recording whether past participants are back for another show due to a positive experience last year.
Undoubtedly, lives were changed through this project. We had to turn down some of the kids auditioning for the teen show, and we had exactly our quota (25) show up for the elementary show. Much learning took place during rehearsals, as well as during performances. For instance, this was the first year we had a professional choreographer on staff and the learning was evident in that area. Audiences were very enthusiastic for both shows, and many new members were brought into our theater.
