ACHF Arts Access
The Playhouse will conduct three sessions of Stage Play; building social skills, confidence, and theatre arts access regionwide for children with Autism. Evaluation includes: student assessment before, during, and after sessions, parent feedback, continued program demand from families, and participant surveys for staff, students, and volunteers. 2: Stage Play mitigates barriers for underserved families coping with Autism Spectrum Disorders to participate in meaningful theatre arts experiences. Stage Play overcomes barriers by providing theatre education for free, compensate for gas/travel when possible, and providing customized supports and experiences for each student to ensure success.
Stage Play conducted three 10-week sessions in which participants wrote and performed their own plays. Each participant received one-on-one coaching in order to constantly assess progress. All participants were committed to the program for an entire year. At the end of each session following the public performance where feedback was gathered. 2: Stage Play sessions were free and open to all families with children of the autism spectrum. The consistent participation and expressed desire from families for the continued opportunity clearly shows the desire and success for the programing in the Duluth community.
