As a result of seeing Harp and Sol, families and young people will experience a new awareness for the power of music, puppetry and mime to bring them into closer contact with a dormant part of their humanity - the place primally wired for the wordless relating only possible with melody, with puppets, with mime. Puppetry and mime depend on viewer's involvement to be ?real.' Our hope is each audience member will uniquely live out Harp and Sol's story, specific to what they needed to see and hear. Evaluation methods include an audience survey, written for youth and family members, administered after the play to measure audience members connection to the non-verbal aspects of the story telling, including movement, puppetry, instrumental music, and mime in children ages 3-18.
