Young children and adults alike will learn about the history of puppetry, comedic arts and stage theater. Wedgwood also teaches the audience how to manipulate their vocals to project their voices across a room, giving everyone involved a better understanding of ventriloquism. Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Those attending the program had a wonderful time. Through all of the laughter the children were still able to learn how to speak for a dummy, learn how the dummy works and all had a great time with the comedy.
