Class Presentation

I presented my project in class and it went very well and I got a great response! I had my classmates fill out an anonymous survey that had questions asking if they had ever struggled with mental health, if they have ever been involved in theater, how they have noticed theater helping them, if they feel good after a show, and how they feel about budget cuts. Fourteen people did the survey and only two people in my class said that they had never struggled with mental health! Both of them said that they had been involved in theater or performance, but it only helped one of them. However, they both said that they feel good after they see shows. Their opinions on budget cuts were also split. For the most part, out of everyone else, people were strongly against budget cuts in schools in regards to theater programs. One person said that theater not only helps the performers, but also the people who watch. This person added that their favorite school thing is to watch the shows! Out of those twelve people, they all said that they feel good after they see a show (depending on how good it is). The people that said that theater / performing has helped them said that that was because theater offers an escape and gives you a new way to view others and the world around you. People also said that it has helped them make new friends or provides a time to let loose! I got great responses and am continuing to grow my outreach!
