Attendees will participate in the presentation and will be encouraged to read about this incredible art form. The audience will be surveyed by observation and post program anecdotal responses.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The audience was delighted with Mr. Wedgewood’s performance and enjoyed the skill and mastery of his craft. There was material checked out after the performance by children wanting to learn more about ventriloquism. A sampling of antidotal comments from people leaving the program was all very positive.
