ACHF Arts Access
We hope to provide access to an estimated 400 Young Audience members (Pre-K and early elementary children) to affordable, quality live theater, to provide an opportunity for an estimated 30 actors, directors and arts leaders to grow their participation and skills while working together to engage young audiences, and to offer parents an opportunity to enjoy the arts with their children. We plan to track the numbers of people who audition for and participate in our Theatre for Young Audiences performances, the numbers of young audience and other members who come to see the shows, and to survey both participants and audience members about the impact the show has had on them.
1200 people came to see 64 kids and 6 adults in two casts in ten sold out performances. Parents raved about what a great experience it was, and we received a number of emails from parents asking if we were going to do more. As a result, we are doing two more kids' shows this season (2018-19), and this is likely to continue. Many of the young actors participated in MCAC camps this summer.
