Description Program Srvc AccomStatement of Program Service AccomplishmentsPROGRAM SERVICE: Musical Theater ProgramHandful Players received $ 53,550 of donated professional services and $40,205of 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 473 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, public speaking, singing, dance movement 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 schools for three 2nd grade, three 3rd grade, and two 4th grade classes and in After-School and Summer Programs for eleven 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 619 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 commissions original plays by talented playwrights so that children can be involved in the creation of a play inspired by their community's cultural heritage. During January 2013-May 2013, Handful Players commissioned the acclaimed poet/playwright, Chinaka Hodge, to write a play with jazz music about the social justice and math. The plays themes reflect the learning objectives set by the Principal at John Muir Elementary School (where the children from the Western Addition Beacon Center attend. Handful Players also commissioned Chinaka Hodge to write 8 short plays based on the curriculum for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades at Spring Valley Science Elementary School. The plays were based on books the children studied in their classrooms with their teachers with themes covering: Greek Mythology, Americas melting pot experience, California Native American cultures, science, and insects life cycles. During June 2013 August 2013, Handful Players commissioned the talented Chinaka Hodge to write seven short plays based on the summer reading list of the MoMagic Collaborative of Western Addition Youth Programs. 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 final performance at Yoshis, we hosted a free reception to help strengthen community bonds.Handful Players performed at these Western Addition community events:Season Finale Performance at Spring Valley Science School (8 classes), May 2013Season Finale Performance at EXCEL at Dr. William Cobb After- School Program (2 classes), May 2013Season Finale Performance at Margaret Hayward Rec-Connect, May 2013Season Finale Full Performance at African-American Art and Culture Complex, May 2013Summer Youth Showcase, Western Addition Beacon Center (2 classes), July, 2013San Francisco Summer Youth Showcase (Performances by 9 Youth Groups working with Handful Players) at Jewish Community Center Theater, July 2013Summer Youth Showcase, African American Art and Culture Complex, August 2013Thanksgiving Celebration, Western Addition Beacon Center, November 2013Season Finale and Holiday Performance, New Traditions After- School Program, Dec 2013Holiday Youth Show, Western Addition Beacon Center, December 20135.
