CTCSF, in partnership with Augustana College, created a special day for junior high school students.
The day was the kick-off for a semester long mentoring project pairing Augustana College students
with local junior high school students in the hope of fostering the values which Martin Luther King taught about equality, justice and character. As a catalyst for the dialogue throughout the day, CTCSF presented Aurand Harris's play STEAL AWAY HOME, which tells the story of two young boys traveling along the "Underground Railroad." Featuring a largely African American cast of local actors, the production reminded our community of the lessons learned from our past which we must remember
in order to create a better future.

......February 14, 2003: Girls' Day Out......

Sponsored by Children's Home, Children's Inn, Augustana College, and Sioux Valley Hospital, this one day event showed 200 Sioux Falls third through sixth grade girls why it is "Divine Being A Girl!" Starting with a performance of Tomato Plant Girl, by Wesley Middleton, the girls spent the day in workshops with volunteers from the community and Augustana College. These carefully designed workshops infocused on empowering the girls as individuals and showing them the true meaning of friendship.

......Summer 2003: On the Front Porch at the Pettigrew Museum......

On the lawn, just outside the front door stands a man looking a bit out of place. Local actor Wyatt Yager played Mr. Pettigrew for the Home and Museum's "On the Front Porch" arts series, telling stories of the dam he built at Falls Park that put Sioux Falls on the map. These interactive stories brought audience members to the stage to create a working car, a waterfall, a baseball game and a live buffalo hunt to make history come to life right before our very eyes!
