By the time the Pageant is performed we have engaged the talents, thoughts, ideas, and energy of many individuals. We take that energy and condense it into the approximately 40-minute celebration that is the final show. The process is as important as the performance. Because of the accessible nature of that process, we hope to spark curiosity, creativity and confidence in our participants, young and old. We hope to foster pride in our community, our history and stewardship of our environment. Our measurable outcomes include numbers of workshop participants, numbers in the audience at the performance, and donations received. We track numbers of participants in our workshops and performances. We publish our email address on our programs to solicit public comments. We also review video of performances for artistic merit and audience reaction.
