ACHF Arts Access
TTT shows and programs will evoke emotional, thoughtful or visceral responses, opening audiences to new ideas, feelings, experiences or perspectives. We will collect audience responses to our work via written surveys, verbal talk-backs, recorded reflections, and post-event interviews with staff from partner organizations. 2: TTT will reduce barriers to arts participation, affording access to the highest quality theater to those who have previously felt excluded. We will survey audiences about barriers they have experienced to arts participation, whether the show was relevant to their lives, and whether they would be inclined to see more theater.
