Now that the season has drawn to a close, I <br /> would like to take this opportunity to share some of our reactions as to the <br /> successes as well as areas that need improvement regarding our Summer Theater <br /> Program. <br /> The Summer Puppet Wagon Program was under the capable direction of three young <br /> people who were employed following a lengthy interview and evaluation process. <br /> The three individuals were Haeri Tollefson, a graduate from the University of <br /> Minnesota in theater and art and resident of the City of Minneapolis; Scott <br /> Klemik, a junior at the University of Mankato and former puppeteer for the <br /> City of New Brighton and resident of New Brighton and Beth Gillman, a junior <br /> at the University of Minnesota/Duluth majoring in theater and resident of the <br /> • City of Mounds View. The three summer puppeteers were hired for an eleven week <br /> contract commencing Monday, June 7, 1983. The season began with two weeks of <br /> prep time with the actual nine weeks of shows beginning on June 21 , 1982. We <br /> performed over 200 shows during the summer and eight shows of a one act melodrama <br /> during the last week of the season. <br /> We performed twenty-four shows each week with twelve shows in New Brighton and <br /> twelve shows in Mounds View, playing to over 7,000 residents during the 1982 <br /> season. The specific breakdown of the shows regarding attendence is as follows: <br /> SITE LOCATION AVG.
