Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The St. Francis kids book club will get to see how the books they read turn into art on stage.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Although chatting with the author portion of this program did not work out, the kids and their families had a wonderful time touring the theater and watching the performance. It was the first visit to the Children's Theatre for about half of the participants. Everyone reported the program was great and most reported they learned something new including all the hard work that goes on backstage, how a play is produced, and why a play is different than a book. One grandmother wrote she had never been backstage before and it was fascinating.
