Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
At least 240 people total will attend our six performances of Three Tales, One World, and a trio of short puppet shows by artists Gustavo Boada, Julie Boada, and Anne Sawyer-Aitch. Audiences will be comprised of at least 50% of the three cultures that we are reflecting through our puppet shows: Somali, Mexican, and Myanmar. We’ll have a fun feedback activity sheet at our public performances, with small prizes for kids who fill one out. We’ll solicit verbal feedback from our audiences and written evaluations from program directors of performance sites.
