This production reduced cultural, physical and financial barriers to arts participation, and the artists we employed were strengthened by connecting to their communities (mainly the Latine and LGBTQ communities) through this work. The artists involved also expanded and improved their work and the way in which they create it. Latine and LGBTQ community members were inspired by the play and felt connected to the work as it was meant for them, with queer characters on stage, Latine characters and traditions, and Spanish spoken throughout the show. We evaluated this project by interviewing the 20+ artists involved on their experience through - during rehearsals, performances, and following the final performance. Feedback from audiences was gathered through survey inserted into the program. We've also reviewed box office data and demographics of attendees (and artists!).
