ACHF Arts Access
As a result of our program, our school-aged participants will gain confidence, new skills, new friends, a sense of belonging, and a strengthened desire to perform, share, learn and experience theater and other related areas of the performing arts. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with project planners, counting actual audience members in each community, and a youth participant questionnaire given on the last day of our residency that asks about their development of theater skills and knowledge; and their emotional reaction to participating in our theater and music activities and performing on stage, in their community, in a musical play.
Summer Arts Stages and Safari brings together students and audiences to experience something that is perhaps not often offered to them. By giving communities access to professionals in the arts, we offer a unique opportunity to broaden the lives of members of each of them through learning and performance in theatre. This experience was quantitatively assessed through audience and participant tracking, and discussed qualitatively at length with community leaders directly involved in the project.
