The collaborative process of this project has significantly shaped and strengthened this play through the diverse character of participants - artists and audience alike. In the process, we have built new relationships that provide artistic growth and which positively shape and strengthen our company, our community and our audience. Through a series of workshops, round table readings, and discussions involving the artist staff and cast members, evaluations were made to determine what rewrites and adjustments were needed for the script. The play was then given a public reading and audience members were asked to give feedback. The reading was also recorded and made available online and viewers were then asked to complete a survey. By incorporating community feedback into the show?s development, Sidekick Theatre was able to shape the show and ensure its relevance to audience needs and interests, all of which is in preparation for a full staged production sometime in the future.
