Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will 1) learn how theatre teaches expression, i.e., communicating thoughts and feelings to others, 2) begin to understand how performances are produced and how they can affect the environment in which we live and who we are, 3) gain access to a professional theatrical production based on the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table found in T.H. White’s novel "The Once and Future King."

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees learned more about the Arthurian legend. They found it to be a well done theatrical performance with great talent, singing, and costumes. For some it was their first metro area theatrical performance and they appreciated the opportunity to attend through Legacy-provided transportation and tickets.
