Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through the well planned and implemented Heart of the Beast Puppet Theatre residency Ridgeway Community School students and community members will have the opportunity to be exposed to and interact with the art form of large scale theatrical puppetry which is not typically available in our community or region.Family/Community member Evaluation: Ridgeway Community School families and community members will be asked to complete a short evaluation survey following the Saturday workshop and the capstone performances. The capstone events will also be videotaped and put on the local cable access channel.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Almost without exception, the children reported enjoying the experience of learning about and making puppets and masks. The vast majority also reported enjoying putting on the pageant. Over 75% reported wanting to do similar activities.
