This amendment will allow the City to continue to support the awarded Grantees through extending the timeline and amending the initial project. Background: In November 2019, the Community Arts Grant 2020 (CAG2020) proposals were reviewed by a peer panel consisting of local and regional artists and arts professionals. In December 2019, the Arts Commission reviewed the Grantee recipients and approved the final list. Subsequently, the City entered into individual agreements with each approved Grantees. On March 19, 2020, the California Governor issued a statewide order for Californians to stay at home to slow the spread of nationwide COVID-19 pandemic. The statewide order began impacting CAG2020 Grantee's ability to fulfill its original project by excluding all in-person projects and events. These challenges created obstacles for the Grantees to achieve their original plan. In the spirit of the Community Arts Grant program, City staff proposed an amendment to the CAG2020 program allowing flexibility in program deliverables/projects. To better serve local arts organizations, schools, and artists during COVID-19, on May 7, 2020, the Arts Commission approved changes to the Community Arts Grants 2020 which are now published in the Community Arts Grants Guidelines – 2020 COVID-19 Addendum, dated 5/21/2020 "Exhibit B." Amendment purpose The purpose of this amendment is to amend and extend Community Arts Grants 2020 agreements to allow reasonable adaptations of a previously funded project due to COVID-19 pandemic related health and safety regulations, requirements, and recommendations made by government agencies, school districts, and organizational policies. Amendment timeline Amendment will extend the existing allocated grant funding for one (1) year, expiring on June 30, 2021. Projects may be completed at any time before this date, and Final Reports are due within thirty (30) days of completion of the project, or July 30, 2021, whichever comes first. Project transparency By temporarily expanding project eligibility with this amendment, the City's Cultural Arts Manager or designee will work with Grantee to validate a suitable project that meets the original intent of the grant. Any changes, whether planned or unanticipated, to funded projects due to the COVID-19 pandemic (including, but not limited to, stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures) must be submitted to City in writing by no later than December 31, 2020. Potential replacement project(s) will be reviewed, and the City's Cultural Arts Manager or designee will respond no later than two (2) weeks of receiving Grantee's proposal. Any project changes will continue to adhere to the City’s Community Arts Grants 2020 Guidelines provided with the original executed agreement and the newly developed Community Arts Grants Guidelines – 2020 COVID-19 Addendum "Exhibit B." Funding All grant funding will remain consistent with what was outlined in the awarded CAG2020 agreement.

Project Name California 92123 8583842970 http://www. playwrightsproject. org/ The Mission of Playwrights Project is to advance literacy, creativity, and communication by empowering individuals to voice their stories through playwriting programs and theatre productions. Playwrights Project is a nonprofit organization devoted to arts education. Founded in 1985, Playwrights Project reaches up to 10,000 people annually through programs proven to: -Teach the power of spoken and written language -Nurture promising young writers -Develop theatre artists and audiences -Champion thoughtful communication -Encourage creative problem solving -Inspire lifelong learning -Cultivate empathy -Honor wisdom and past experience -Deepen a sense of belonging -Strengthen connections between and within communities No Yes Write On! playwriting residency Project Summary Project Start Date Project End Date Funding Request from the City of Car1sbad's Cultural Arts Grants Total Number of Expected Participants for Project Total Number of Expected Audience Attendance for Project Our 12-hour Write On! playwriting program will be conducted with one group of 6th/7th/8th grade students at St. Patrick Catholic School (once/week afterschool). A Teaching Artist will guide students to write an original one act plays, using group theatre exercises, improvisation, writing activities and interviews with seniors from the Carlsbad community. Professional actors perform students' completed plays for the Carlsbad community and participating seniors, demonstrating the quality of the writing and celebrating students' hard work. Students will learn the value of revision, expand their creativity, and learn to appreciate the lives and stories of seniors in their community. 03/09/2020 06/08/2020 1300 20 100 Provide a brief example of a similar recent project by you or your organization and why it was successful. From a previous playwriting residency at St. Pat's, 6th grade students interviewed either their grandparents or researched a family story from previous generations, and wrote a one- act play from these stories. At the performance with actors at school, many grandparents attended as well, and it was meaningful to all involved. One boy was especially proud to have his grandfather who had flown as a pilot at the performance. The students remarked afterward on how surprised they were that many of their grandparents were immigrants who came to the U.S. to study or start their own business and have a better life. In 2019, a St. Pat's student Sophia Padua was a finalist in the California Young Playwrights Contest. Sophia wrote her play in a residency made possible by the support of the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office-thank you! What makes the project distinctive? Playwrights Project programs are unique in that they tap into children's creativity on multiple levels and allow students to undergo a process of self-discovery. Students are able to tell their own stories in a safe environment and learn from their own and other's experiences how they might tackle issues differently. Putting the students in the role of playwright gives them the freedom and the responsibility to examine their own experiences, and reflect on alternative outcomes. Students support each other dramaturgically and have the opportunity to role play and improvise; suggesting ideas for script expansion to further develop their ideas, deepen characters and justify motivations and also explore situations that they may encounter in real life, giving them practice tackling difficult and challenging situations. In an atmosphere that is fun, supportive and encouraging, students revise their scripts to improve the effectiveness of dramatic elements and structure, reveal complex characters, draw meaning from setting, increase suspense, and include language that is culturally and historically appropriate. Focused on the process rather than the final production, students gain confidence through the validation of their experiences, and also gain the life skills of writing, revising and maintaining deadlines crafting their own one-act plays. What are the goals {outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals? Students will learn and use: vocabulary of theatre (character, conflict, setting, plot, intention, lines, rehearsal, cold reading); elements of drama; proper play format; dramatic structure; monologue and dialogue; revision to reveal complex characters, depict meaning from setting, and increase suspense; and script analysis to make acting choices. Students will also learn: how to work as dramaturgs providing constructive critiques to playwrights (fellow students); that plays are about universal desires (love, respect, understanding, power) that are important to them and others; that revising their writing to reveal intention (why the "want" is important to the main character) will engage audiences in the character's journey; and many will gain confidence in their ability to express their thoughts and feelings in writing after hearing their peers' positive response to the actors performing their scripts. Students will complete pre and post evaluation surveys, which will measure confidence and knowledge of theatre content. St Pat's teachers and teaching artists will complete a post program evaluation to evaluate use of proper play format, understanding of intangible wants, and qualitative information such as collaboration with others. Specific outcomes include: 90% of students will correctly identify the elements of theatre at the end of the program. 85% of students will use the proper play format in writing their original one-act plays. 85% of student scripts will give the main character an intangible want or universal need. 80% of students will report that they think the time spent revising their play was worthwhile.

We are proposing to implement an afterschool playwriting program for 6th -8th grade students at St. Patrick Catholic School; Playwrights Project has a long-standing relationship with St. Patrick's, made possible through the generous support of the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office. Students at St. Patrick's will self-select to participate in this program, and are excited to be involved through their knowledge of siblings and peers' past participation, and are further inspired to write plays after attending PWP's Plays by Young Writers festival in January, featuring the winning scripts of students submitted to the California Young Playwrights Contest. Students of St. Patrick Catholic School are required to serve the community and submit their hours quarterly. With this program, it will offer students another way to fulfill these hours by interviewing seniors in their community and honoring them in the community performance.
