ACHF Arts Access
The Tyler Arts Council hopes to start bringing more community theater to our town. We have a new theater in town at the high school and would like to utilize it more. Our intent with this project is to start on a smaller scale with a small cast and hopefully get people excited about creating theater in this new facility. Our goal is to create a quality theater experience for the public to build some excitement on expanding to more plays in the future. It is also our intent to create an outlet for high school students' art projects and give them some recognition for their work. It will give them a feel for what an artist exhibit is and hopefully encourage them to do more in the future. We will include a small questionnaire in our programs to which people can respond to gauge our success and get their opinion on what they would like to see going forward.
The impact our community was a positive one. People were excited about local community theater being produced in town as well as an opportunity to show off a new 500 seat facility at the school. Included in our program was a short survey for audience memb
