ACHF Arts Access
STC will make high-quality youth theatre productions and programming accessible to all Minnesotans, regardless of income, geography, or ability. STC will track attendance, education program registrations, participation in and off- and on-site programs, and the number of individuals participating via our Open Door accessibility initiative. 2: STC will engage in a process of innovation and experimentation to produce new, engaging and inclusive theatre programming for youth and families. STC will conduct intrinsic impact surveys of patrons and program participants to gather qualitative and quantitative feedback regarding the participants' experiences.
The lives of 147,000+ Minnesotans were enriched by nine STC theatre productions and 125+ education classes/workshops/residencies/accessibility programs. Using our database and registration information, STC tracked attendance at mainstage productions, classes, workshops and off-and on-site education/outreach programs. 2: Thousands of youth and family members explored new ideas and perspectives through innovative theatre productions and education programs. STC conducted intrinsic impact planning sessions for each mainstage production with parents and youth as well as grant-funded education programs to determine the impact on participants beyond entertainment value.
