In all, 695 Newport Beach elementary school students and educators were among more than 9,500 who experienced a free weekday matinee performance. The project timeframe and allocation of funds were as expected and within budget for all shows. The season program featured productions of Charlotte’s Web, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane and the world premiere of Oz 2.5. All three productions were presented at the highest level of artistic excellence to excited young audiences from six Orange County school districts - Newport Mesa, Santa Ana, Irvine, Orange, Fullerton and Garden Grove. More than 65% of participating students were from low to moderate income families. Average free matinee performance attendance was 96% of capacity. Public performances on weekends were also well attended with nearly 90% of the available seats filled with children and families from Newport Beach and throughout Orange County. SCR’s Artistic Director, Marc Masterson, oversaw the 2014-2015 TYA season and SCR’s Associate Artistic Director, John Glore, was responsible for dramaturgy and literary leadership. In collaboration with Marc, John helped to create the 2014-2015 TYA season, including casting decisions and thoughtful attention to the highest production values. Conservatory and Educational Programs Director, Hisa Takakuwa supervised administration of the program. Hisa is a seasoned educator and theatre professional with more than 20 years of experience at SCR. Scheduling of school visits was the responsibility of our Educational Programs Associate, Janis Morrissette, who has 15+ years of experience at SCR working with Orange County school districts in scheduling SCR’s in-school programs. Evaluation of TYA is carried out on several levels. First of all, SCR’s Artistic Director oversees all aspects of SCR’s productions, including TYA. Together with Associate Artistic Director John Glore, they evaluate the overall artistic, production and literary content at the close of every production. Conservatory and Educational Programs Director, Hisa Takakuwa, supervises the TYA outreach to the schools and directs outreach evaluation. SCR’s Education and Outreach Committee, a volunteer group of Trustees, community leaders and local educators, also provides evaluative guidance. This committee reviews all of our education and outreach programs and provides us with constructive suggestions. Participation and engagement of the family paid performance audience is tracked by SCR’s Marketing Department. In addition to the evaluation methods described above, surveys were used to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback to rate aspects of the program and the use of educational materials. The most recent survey, from June 2015, revealed the value of the program as a cultural learning experience: 89% of educators rated the program 5 out of 5 - the highest quality 95% of student participants rated the program 5 out of 5 - the highest quality Similar high ratings were given by educators for Educational Materials, exterior Logistics (bus traffic flow, access and egress from the theatre) and Interior Logistics (front of house staff, seating, dismissal, program distribution).
