Measurable Outcome(s)

Folks seemed to like the humor in this program. They enjoyed seeing their kids laugh. They also liked how the storytellers invited and encouraged participation through songs, actions, and volunteer opportunities. The improvisation of one of the young boys invited to participate with a puppet was hilarious and added to the enjoyment for him and the whole audience!
The students liked the performance and wanted them to include more student volunteers at later performances. They enjoyed it very much! They laughed a lot and were very attentive during the presentation.
