Measurable Outcome(s)

“It was a delightful, entertaining comedy in a theater we had never attended before.”
“Going to plays would not be possible for me with kids especially if not for these trips. Kids loved the bus, too!”
“I had a great time and am encouraged to do more theater and events. I am grateful I got this opportunity. I’m inspired.”
“It provided exposure to my daughter and myself to theatrical arts.”
“I loved the themes presented throughout the play--they did a fantastic job conveying the message intended by Charles Dickens. It was very educational for my children. My life was definitely enriched, in fact, I just finished reading the play and it was amazing to see it put into a performance--very moving. This was a fantastic learning experience for my children.”
