Minnesotans are more knowledgeable about Jewish culture and aware of the common humanity we all share through MJTC's compelling theater experiences. Written audience surveys and emailed/online surveys, teacher evaluations, phone calls, unsolicited emails and notes, Facebook postings, reviews, and comments at MJTC programs will enable evaluation of achievement of outcome.
