ACHF Arts Access
Numbers of people willing to participate in productions have declined. One goal is to involve at least 60 adult and college age community members to participate in this project as actors, musicians and crew. Serving the senior citizens by inviting them to attend this event and arranging transportation is an important part of the groups outreach. The goal is to assist at least 30 seniors to attend. We will keep detailed records of those participating in the various capacities of the production (i.e. auditioning, set building, painting, ushering, ticket sales, etc.) as well as audience attendance. We will use this information to assess the desire of the community for future productions.
We hoped to involve 60 adult and college age community members in the production -- 77 people participated. This first attempt to open the door to our seniors in assisted living was not as widely accepted as we had hoped -- nine seniors attended. We intend to continue this program and look forward to participating with the senior centers to provide access to live theater.
