ACHF Arts Access
We want 250 people to have the full experience of an evening of women supporting women, through art and theatre. We want to start a new chapter of a woman's movement, that uplifts women through their untold stories by having at least 5 women share their story and express themselves in our class, Untold Stories and have 95% of those women indicate they want to participate in the class in the future, as well as have 250 people attend our performance of When We Were Young and Unafraid and have 95% of that audience leave having gained knowledge on important women's issues such as violence against women and the history of the women's movement in the 1970s as well as wanting to return again next season for future performances of future plays. Through three talk back experiences we will ask for audience feedback directly and answer any questions they have on the subject matter or the play itself. In addition, we will have an audience survey for each audience member to fill out for additional feedback that will assist us in garnering new audience members.
There were a few significant outcomes from our project. First, the Untold Stories class had ten participants all who shared and participated in the class. Second, our surveys had a 92% positive outcome based on comments about the show. Third, our ticket sales were nearly 50%, which shows that people want to see work like this. 237 people saw the show.
