Over a past two years, we have worked to rebuild the Tyler Arts Council from near closure. We hope to continue offering many different arts projects and would like to add community theater to that list in hopes of raising more funds to continue our mission and to offer more projects. Tyler has never had a community theater organization. With the construction of a new 500-seat theater at the local high school, we have been asked by many community members and city leaders to create productions to utilize the facility. We feel that this project will help introduce community theater opportunities to many in the area and give them a chance to be a part of producing quality shows. We will query audience members to get feedback on our shows and how important it is to continue to produce community theater in Tyler. We will also ask for feedback on our social media platforms and ask what we did right and what we did wrong. The results of this will be gathered and discussed by Arts Council board members. Each participant will be asked to give feedback on what it means to have this theater opportunity available to them.
