ACHF Arts Access
Theatre in the Round provides opportunities to Minnesotans of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to learn and work in theatre crafts. As a goal for its season, we look for more than 450 state residents to audition for roles at the theatre, making Theatre in the Round one of the top local arts groups offering opportunities to adults for dramatic (non-musical) roles. Furthermore, from cast to crew, these shows will be created by more than 250 adults of all backgrounds. Evaluating the degree of accuracy in our estimates was statistical, comparing actual numbers to projected numbers. With actual outcomes reaching more than 90% of the estimated outcomes, these numbers show the theatre continuing its role in providing opportunities to learn and work in theatre crafts, as it has since its beginning sixty years ago -- a role that also helps achieve the Arts Board strategic goal of providing true community participation in the arts by citizens of Minnesota.
In our fiscal year 2013 Operating Support Grant application, we estimated more than 450 local residents would audition. The actual number was slightly less, with 414 auditioning for roles in nine mainstage productions. We also estimated that these shows would be created by more than 250 adults of all backgrounds. The actual outcome was 240 unique individuals (numbers do not include the artists who taught classes, exhibited work in the theatre gallery, or others who did not work specifically work on productions).
