ACHF Arts Access
We intend to produce a compelling theatrical experience, driven by authentic voice; to provide an outlet for true stories about the Capitol that aren't always allowed to rise above the partisan noise; all of which in the end will expand understanding among the wider community (of at least 800 audience members and 15-30 community member performers) around the work and history of the Minnesota State Capitol. Our artistic team meets regularly to evaluate our progress from the beginning of the process to the end. We also distribute pre- and post-rehearsal surveys to our community member performers and our professional artists. At the show, we provide interactive evaluation techniques in the lobby as well paper surveys about the audience experience. We also count attendance, encourage email feedback and invite the artistic team to a final post-show evaluation.
We involved 13 community members in the cast and included the true stories of more than 130 people from a wide diversity of experiences at the Capitol in a show that sold out completely. 89% percent of the audience who responded on the surveys rated the show as “very good” or “excellent” while 100% of our community cast members indicated that the role of creativity in their life had increased.
