Measurable Outcome(s)
An extremely creative and very entertaining twist on a "circus." The performers use ping pong balls and other household items to delight the crowd with a glow in the dark show. This program encourages imagination and query -- how did they do that? At the end of the "circus" the performers even showed the crowd how certain tricks and illusions were done - again supporting that this was a learning experience, not just "entertainment." Fabulous. I had many patrons comment on how unique this was -- one mother said that it was "thought-provoking and challenged her very bright son to think about what was happening."
