ACHF Arts Access
To enliven and enhance the cultural life of the community at large and its visitors. To contribute to the economic vitality of the area's (Morris, Alberta, Chokio) downtowns and the growth of regional tourism. To secure a local facility/building to better facilitate Plays In Morris's performance and educational goals and to provide fiscal and housing security for the future. To develop an educational program to help potential performers and crew to: increase self-confidence; enrich their understanding and appreciation of the arts; prepare for future opportunities at Plays in Morris and elsewhere. We plan to provide two different surveys: 1 - Families of participants: these surveys will rate the experience the students had and their feelings towards the program 2 - Community Members: these surveys will ask about the community impact and the final 'productions'.
Plays in Morris will continue to provide youth and community theatre. It is a need for this community.
