Organizations Filed Purposes:
ASHLAND PRODUCTIONS EMPOWERS YOUTH TO FIND THEIR VOICE THROUGH THEATER.
FEATURE PRODUCTIONS: EACH YEAR ASHLAND PRODUCES 6 FEATURE MUSICALS WITH OVER 300 PERFORMERS FROM AGE 7 70 TO OVER 10,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS. WE PERFORMED "DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST", AN ORIGINAL ASHLAND HOLIDAY REVIEW, AND "GUYS AND DOLLS" ON THE STAGE TO 6700 AUDIENCE MEMBERS BEFORE THE COVID PANDEMIC, THEN PIVOTED TO ONLINE PRODUCTIONS OF "YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A WEREWOLF AND "THE SHOW MUST GO ONLINE" WHILE CERTAINLY NOT A TYPICAL SEASON, ASHLAND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE PROGRAMMING AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.
SUMMER CAMPS, CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS: IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ASHLAND HAD TO SCALE BACK OUR USUAL POPULAR SUMMER CAMPS TO ACCOMMODATE SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS. THIS SUMMER WE PRODUCED TWO WEEKS OF ONLINE CAMPS AND FIVE WEEKS OF IN-PERSON CAMPS AT 35 % CAPACITY TO MEET THE AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION GUIDELINES. TOTAL PARTICIPANTS FOR OUR SUMMER CAMPS WAS 156. ASHLAND ALSO OFFERED CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS IN THE FALL PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC SHUTDOWN.
ASHLAND COLLABORATIVE THEATER (ACT!): THIS PROGRAM ENABLED MORE THAN 700 ELEMENTARY-AGED CHILDREN FROM 15 SCHOOLS IN THE EAST METRO, REPRESENTING 4 DISTRCITS AND 6 PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR PROGRAMMING. REHEARSING TWICE A WEEK AT THE HOST SCHOOL AND THEN TRANSFERRING TO THE ASHLAND STAGE FOR TECH WEEK AND PERFORMANCES, WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER A FULLY-REALIZED PRODUCTION OF "THE GRUNCH" WITH 2-3 PERFORMANCES FOR EACH CAST. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED SUSPENSION OF 10 OF THESE CASTS' REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES.
