Description Program Srvc AccomStatement of Program Service AccomplishmentsPROGRAM SERVICE: Musical Theater ProgramHandful Players received $64,750 of donated professional services and $43,950of use of facilities to conduct its program in addition to the cash contributions and donated goods.1. Conduct Student Workshops. Handful Players conducted a total of 610 hours of free musical theater workshops providing inner city youth the opportunity to express themselves creatively and interact positively with other youth and adults. Each workshop was led by professional teaching artists who instructed the children on improvisation, acting, singing, poetry and spoken word, dance, clowning, and puppetry. The children actively participated hands-on in the theater process, collaborating with the playwrights to craft the plays, making choices about the movement and expression of their characters in the plays, and designing costumes and sets. They also had the opportunity to interact collaboratively with parents and adult volunteers on varied activities involved in the theater production. Handful Players provided the musical theater program in a residency at one San Francisco public school for three 3rd grade classes and in After-School and Summer Programs for 14 San Francisco Western Addition Youth Organizations with children from over 20 public and charter schools in San Francisco.2. Reach Out to Underserved Youth: Handful Players worked with a total of 679 children ages 5 -17; most are underserved children in San Franciscos Western Addition who are African-American or Latino, living in public housing, and have only one parent living at home with no more than a high school-level education. They live in a distressed community still riddled by gangs and violence. The youth therefore lack traditional mentorship and have little exposure to cultural events and theater. 3. Commission Original Plays. Handful Players commissioned the acclaimed poet/playwright, Chinaka Hodge, to write original plays that link to classroom learning objectives, reflect the students interests and abilities, and are inspired by the community's cultural heritage. Through our efforts to develop original and relevant plays, we can support the literacy programs and curricula of San Francisco public schools and community after-school and summer programs: During January 2016-May 2016, Chinaka Hodge wrote the play Mufaros Beautiful Daughter (and One on Fleek) based on the classic book by John Steptoe, and updated with contemporary messages on combating bullying, and the importance of moving through the world with kindness, empathy, and compassion. For the summer of 2016, Handful Players commissioned Chinaka Hodge to write 8 short plays based on the summer reading list of the MoMagic Collaborative of Western Addition Youth Programs. The plays, which included song, dance, and highlighted themes based on: identity, cultural heritage, compassion, self-reliance, determination, and discovery in the selected books which included Harlem by the late Walter Dean Myers, Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena, "Something Beautiful" by Sharon Dennis Wyeth, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, and Firebird by Misty Copeland. Chinakas plays for Handful Players have been very highly praised by the community.4. Perform at Community Events. The workshops culminated in community performances by the students accompanied by professional jazz musicians. Each performance brings together a diverse San Francisco audience numbering from 75 to 350. Following our May performance at the African American Cultural Center, we hosted a free reception to help strengthen community bonds. During the year, Handful Players performed our original plays by Chinaka Hodge their poems, and original choreographed dance routines, and one art exhibit at 22 community and school events. 5. Sponsor Cultural Enrichment Activities: Handful Players also inspires and motivates the children by taking them to professional productions throughout the year and exposing them to the richly diverse and vibrant culture of their community that would be inaccessible otherwise. We reached out to local theaters, such as ACT and African American Shakespeare Company, who provide discounted or donated tickets for the children to see professional theater. During the year, we took children to see 4 professional theater performances.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
