ACHF Arts Access
Our show will provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans as the subject and costuming of the show will encourage younger attendance. The unique show will also raise the quality and type of arts opportunities in our region. Data collection: we will survey/interview the audience as to viewer age, number of previous shows attended at our theatre/of this genre, city and county of residence; their opinions of the performance, staging, and script; other data collection.
This grant allowed us to break even on one of our most ambitious theatrical outreaches to date and to provide an educational experience about the life of Edgar Allen Poe.
