Arts in the Schools
ACHF Arts Education
The goal of this program is to increase the quantity and types of arts learning opportunities for youth.Our community offers 2-3 opportunities each year for youth to participate in live theatre including a week-long youth theatre residency Prairie Fire Children's Theatre and two community theatre productions. Once youth have experienced live theatre they will be more inclined to participate in community theatre and/or high school productions. We will be able to measure the success of this project by how many of the youth in our program participate in future theatre productions here. We will also gather verbal feedback upon return from The Children's Theatre Company about the events of the day, their experience, their future plans to participate.
30 students participated. It was unfortunate we did not get the participation numbers we had anticipated, probably due to the fact it was held over spring break, even though it was advertised and promoted very well. We will continue to measure the success of this project by how many youth participate in future theatre productions here.
