  • A Spotlight pre-evaluator visits during the rehearsal process of your production to workshop or engage with your students in a specific area of your choosing.
  • A Spotlight pre-evaluator visits during a final technical or dress rehearsal for your production and gives verbal feedback following the run.

Please make your selection below. Note: A pre-evaluation is optional and does NOT count as an honor-determining evaluation.

Technical Evaluation

The purpose of the technical evaluation is to observe and evaluate student technicians and student-led technical work for your school production based on what students have been given. Spotlight Education offers two models for the technical evaluation that a school can choose from:

  • Technical evaluator visits during a final technical or dress rehearsal of your production and observes technical students at work onstage and offstage.
  • Technical evaluator visits during a performance of your production and observes technical students at work. This can be structured in two ways:
    • Evaluator arrives at the student crew call time, observes and engages with students during their pre-show work, observes students during Act 1, leaves at intermission.
    • Evaluator arrives a half hour before the show time, observes students during the performance, connects with students after show ends before departing.

Pre-Evaluation
Traditionally during a pre-evaluation, a Spotlight Education evaluator attends a final dress or technical rehearsal to engage with your students. In this way, the purpose of the pre-evaluation is to provide feedback prior to the opening of the production and give an informal congratulations to the students on their hard work. Spotlight Education now offers alternative options for the pre-evaluation. See options below:
  • A Spotlight evaluator engages during the rehearsal process of a production to work with your students in an area of your choosing. Options could include: diversity coaching, intimacy coaching, fight choreography, vocal performance, video editing, etc. 
  • A Spotlight evaluator watches a technical or dress rehearsal for your production and provides verbal feedback following the run. 
  • Spotlight sends a teaching artist to lead a workshop for students in your theater program at any point throughout the school year in an area of your choosing.

If you wish to take advantage of this, please check the box and list two (2) dates that would work on the next page. Note: The pre-evaluation does NOT count as an honor-determining evaluation.
