Objective: To help youth understand and develop techniques in Drama and Theatre
Arts. How to develop the fundamental skill to performance and productions that is
sufficient to the industry while preparing them for the next level of theatre.
They will learn various techniques in audience appropriate theatrical presentations, how

communications.
Students will acquire increased understanding of others, themselves and the world

experiences, they will discover meanings that they may not have otherwise uncovered.
Making and sharing these connections will enable students to clarify, deepen and
extend their understanding of human behavior and to discover universal meanings
within dramatic situations.
Reflection is an important part of this process, as it is during periods of reflection that
students will take the time to consider and clarify these meanings and to share their
understanding with others. Their spoken and written comments will provide evidence of
the extent to which they genuinely use reflection to uncover meaning in the work.
Goals: To help students develop self - confidence, self - discipline and self- motivation
and how to work effectively in groups.

Objective:
To help the community address the need to provide positive programs to youth to encourage
healthy behavior at a time when they have greater exposure to violence, substance abuse and
illicit sex in the media and in their environments than ever before in history. Research by the
American Psychological Society has proven that even short -term exposure to such violence in
media programming influences the development of high -risk aggressive and violent behavior
among youth, and frequent exposure leads to further aggression later in life including physical
assaults and spouse abuse. In Palm Beach County, high -risk behavior and violence among youth,
including gang violence, is a real and existing problem that begs for community leaders, parents,
law enforcement and state lawmakers to seek effective solutions to this problem that erodes
the present and future health and safety of our youth.
Chu Chu Productions is currently seeking nonprofit status to help further its mission to
children and youth. The program is an after school preventive program that serves as an
investment in our community's youth and their future. The overall purpose of Chu Chu
Productions is to have a positive influence on the lives of youth that will ultimately help them
become productive members of society. The program is a dual - purpose innovative artistic and
educational endeavor that takes a creative approach to helping at -risk youth learn new skills,
and discover healthy alternatives to negative behaviors that they are exposed to. Our mission
is to actively involve and feature local community youth in stage and drama plays while
providing wholesome programming that educates, entertains, motivates and encourages young
people to achieve at their highest potential.
Eligibility to participate will be incentive -based with requirements to maintain certain grade
point averages and school attendance as determined by students providing reports or progress
reports. Program will target populations that are, economically disadvantaged at -risk youth
ages 12 -19 years of multi - cultural backgrounds, will have an opportunity to learn.

The goal of Chu Chu Productions is to help students develop self - confidence, self - discipline and
self - motivation. Engaging them in group activity and deepen their understanding while
developing techniques in drama and theatre arts and to inspiring their interest in an acting
career.
Curriculum is industry based and students will learn audience appropriate theatrical
presentations, discipline in specific technologies, and demonstrate skills in performance and oral
communications. All drama experiences will be metaphorical and symbolic representations of
life. As students make connections between dramatic situations and their own life experiences,
they will discover meanings that they may not have otherwise uncovered. Making and sharing
these connections will enable students to clarify, deepen and extend their understanding of
human behavior and to discover universal meanings within dramatic situations.
Curriculum (12 weeks) Sessions will consist of 2 -3 hours once per week or as

Evaluation
Reflection is an important part of this process, as it is during periods of reflection that students
will take the time to consider and clarify these meanings and to share their understanding with
others. Their spoken and written comments will provide evidence of the extent to which they
genuinely use reflection to uncover meaning in the work.
The anticipated outcomes are that:
By the end of the program grant period, 20 -30 youth will have participated in 80% of weekly 2 -hour
after school group training sessions held once per week on drama and theatre stage play and 85% of
those participants will have learned new skills related to theatre that they can apply to real life career
goals.
By the end of the program period, at least 15 out of 30 participants will experience positive
reinforcement by seeing their talents showcased in different events and gain a sense of belonging in their
communities.
By the end of the program grant period, 80% of participants who attend classes will increase awareness
an engage in healthy activities and their scope of choices will change
Pre -Tests and Post -Tests will be used to measure the level of knowledge at the beginning, and end of
the program term and to measure the effectiveness and the benefits to youth.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this application for funding. Together, we can and will make a
difference in the lives of our youth.
