ACHF Arts Education
This project will allow us to perform and interact with style of stage production we have not had the resources or means to otherwise experience. The students will have a helpful foundation on which to develop additional skills as well as participate in future theatrical performances that require this kind of experience. It is our hope that these workshops and the final performances will increase overall interest in stage performance and theatrical participation. We plan to poll audience members and performers about the performance and the process by which they practiced up until this project ended.
