Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attending audiences will engage with artists to inspire future puppeteers and puppet supporters and gain awareness of Puppeteers of America. The evaluation plan will be a short written survey for workshop participants and performance attendees as well as informal conversation/interviews. Evaluation will include questions concerning before exposure to the art activities versus after exposure.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcome: Attending audiences will engage with artists to inspire future puppeteers and puppet supporters and gain awareness for Puppeteers of America. Of the nearly 70 participants we counted at Puppets and Community Day we were only able to capture twelve written formal evaluations. Of these responses all of them noted not having been familiar with puppeteers prior to Community Day.
