Our audience numbers were 377 for both performances and their response was gratifying. We were successful in reaching our intended community and its diversity. Our outreach efforts included the Presbyterian Home, Wealshire Memory Care Center and the Bloomington Farmers Market. We held a 30 to 45 minute performance at each location.
