ACHF Arts Access
1) Partner with 2 restaurants as venues so that we are enhancing their programming to include theatrical performances. 2) To offer area residents the opportunity to expand and demonstrate their technical and artistic skills in performing arts. 3) To provide a musical comedy in relation to the local ethnic and cultural makeup of our area, including karaoke. 4) To reach people in the 4 county area and visiting hunters.1) Survey restaurant staff to evaluate the projects' success, if it enhanced business, and if they want to continue hosting theatre productions. 2) Cast and crew members will be surveyed about their past experiences and their future goals in theatre. 3) The audience will be surveyed to evaluate the plays' relevance to our area. 4) The surveys will ask attendees what county they reside in and if they are visiting the area because of hunting.
Successfully produced a community theater production hosted by two separate area restaurants. Audience participation did not meet expectations. Logistics of working with two different venues proved to be challenging. Majority of participants indicated a rich artistic experience.
