Minnesota History Player - Charley Godard
The intended outcome of the program is to stimulate patron imagination, creativity and interest in Minnesota history. It will educate kids about being brave, facing adversity, being a good friend and working together. It will also expose patrons to new art formats as well as create access to professional live art through history players reenacting people in Minnesota history. Live art is dynamic; patrons can experience and be inspired by the energy that comes from a live performance.
Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 66% of students agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 42% of students agreed that they would attend a similar event. Participants liked that the presenter answered all of their questions and that students could participate in the program which brought history to life. Participants learned about the medical tools and procedures that were used at that time and the history of the MN regiments in the Civil War.
The Cloquet Public public library provided staff and additional promotion for the program that was held at the school.
