ACHF Arts Access
Accessible, high quality theatre productions will be provided locally for residents of the Delano area ? The cast and audience will experience community theatre that meets the highest standards of quality in acting, music, design, and overall production. ? All participants, particularly those in the Delano and Rockford areas, will have access to a variety of theater. ? Board members and production volunteers will learn and grow their skills through both on-stage and off-stage experiences designed to be artistically challenging ? People in the disability and senior communities who may not access will not have to travel outside their communities to access live theater. ? People with financial hardship will have the opportunity to see the productions through complimentary tickets distributed through various social service agencies. The financial goals will be met through strong audience attendance. For the outcomes that are quantitative in nature, we will count ? number of participants, audience members, people who access free admission, and so on. We will develop a survey that can be used for the cast, crew, musicians, volunteers, and board members to obtain information on the outcomes related to their participation such as an increase in knowledge and skills, a sense of community, new intergenerational relationships, and the like. The board will use several means of gathering feedback from the audience. We will do an audience survey in the program. We also solicit feedback on Facebook and social media.
We were able to provide a high-quality live theater for an area that doesn't have access, we were also able to introduce new actors to our company. We evaluated by use of a survey for the cast as well as the production team. We also looked at ticket sales and listened to word of mouth and were reviewed by community theater bloggers.
