Summary
As part of our "Audience Project," Arts for All will tour a professional live children's show,"The Tall Tales of Enoch," FREE OF CHARGE to 2,500 in-need children grades K-5 in the New York area.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Arts for All serves in-need children who have little means or opportunity to explore the arts due to economic disadvantages, physical and mental disabilities, hospitalization, socialization issues, emotional trauma, or any other life challenge. This project will provide children with the opportunity to have a professional live show come directly to their school or youth organization. If enough funds are raised, we will also send children free drama workshops prior to the performance.
How will this project solve this problem?
Arts for All will send out 10 live performances of "The Tall Tales of Enoch." At each performance we anticipate a minimum of 250 children. Youth will be given "study guides" to introduce the show and its themes prior to the performance.
Potential Long Term Impact
This show has valuable themes that will stay with children, such as being honest, sharing with others, and being proud of who you are. By exposing youth to the theater, we are creating better listeners and future theater audiences.
Project Message
“This is one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed, and I thank you for the chance to see true art.” *** "I want you to come back every day, even in the summer!"
