ACHF Arts Access
Audiences will gain access to and will develop a greater appreciation of improvisation. Deliver evening show, a matinee for those who can't drive at night, an assisted living/nursing home for those that can't access the theater, and an intro to improv as an art form to area high school. 2: Audiences gain awareness and comfort with discussing end of life wishes. Survey asking if they have experienced improv before, did the show bring awareness to the importance of end of life planning, do they have a health care directive, and did they have an initial conversation.
Audiences gained access to and will develop a greater appreciation of improvisation. Through one-on-one interviews with audience, and with venue staff, we determined that this was the first opportunity for a majority of audience members to experience an improvisational theater performance. 2: Audiences gained awareness and comfort with discussing end of life wishes. Audience members from all three performances completed questionnaires about their awareness and comfort level concerning end-of-life issues.
