Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
We expect 400-700 people of a wide range of ages to experience both Kira Obolensky's artistry and the authentic voice of Jewish prisoners in World War II, and to learn something about the Holocaust--while, at the same time, enjoying themselves. We will work with Holocaust education groups and Jewish arts councils (as well as other community groups) to maximize attendance, and we will provide surveys for all audience members so that we can measure our success. We will have panels after two shows that will give audience members to learn more about Terezín, the Holocaust, and the making of this play; the number of audience members who stay for the panels and the degree to which they participate will be one way we will measure success. The number of audience members will also be a measure of success, but equally importantly, we will survey attendees to a) find out what effect the play has had on them b) gather demographic information to see how diverse our audience was.
476 audience members attended a musical theatre piece created by 12 Minnesota artists. According to surveys and according to feedback at two post-show events, they were moved to both laughter and sorrow as they were educated about the past. We offered discounts and two (2) pay what you can performances, thus enabling large numbers of audience members an affordable theatrical experience.
