HOBT PUPPETRY PROGRAMS TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS FACILITATED BY OUTSTANDING ARTISTS THAT REPRESENT THE DIVERSITY OF ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE. WE LAUNCHED THE PUPPET LIBRARY IN APRIL 2023; DURING THAT TIME, 179 PUPPETS HAVE BEEN LENT OUT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WITH PLANS TO EXPAND PUPPET LIBRARY PROGRAMMING TO INCLUDE STORY TIME AND MAKE AND TAKE CRAFTS IN THE AVALON THEATER FREE TO ALL. HOBT HOSTED OVER 11 COMMUNITY EVENTS, INCLUDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH AMERICAN SWEDISH INSTITUTE, MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE OF ARTS AND MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA AND HAD OVER 925 WORKSHOP ATTENDEES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023 (FY23) HOBT DEEPENED ITS COMMITMENT TO MINNEAPOLIS' EAST PHILLIPS AND POWDERHORN NEIGHBORHOODS. OUR "REFRESH" OF THE AVALON THEATER IS A TANGIBLE INVESTMENT IN LOCAL ARTISTS, AUDIENCES, AND THE COMMUNITY-AT-LARGE AND WILL BUILD CAPACITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH. ALL ARE WELCOME TO ENTER; ALL ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THE CREATIVITY THAT HAPPENS WITHIN THESE WALLS. 19772 17536 THEATER MAIN STAGE: HOBT CREATES, PRODUCES AND PERFORMS ORIGINAL WORKS BY STAFF, CONTRACTED ARTISTS, AND GUEST ARTISTS. ACCOMMODATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR COVID-19 CONTINUED TO LIMIT IN PERSON PERFORMANCE AND AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT. DESPITE CHALLENGES RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC, HOBT PREMIERED 'PUPPET FASHION SHOW' AN EVENING OF FASHION THEMED MINI PUPPET PERFORMANCES AT THE AVALON, WHICH FEATURED EMERGING LGBTQ+ ARTISTS. BECAUSE OF IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC AND DESIRE TO PROVIDE ACCESS, SHOW TICKETS WERE OFFERED FOR 'PAY WHAT YOU CAN' FOR THE ENTIRE EXTENDED WEEKEND PERFORMANCE RUNS. ALL PERFORMANCES WERE GENERALLY WELL ATTENDED. ARTIST NEGOTIATIONS AND OTHER WORK CONTINUED FOR 2024 AND BEYOND PRODUCTIONS. 18277 69544 EDUCATION: HOBT SHARES THE POWER OF PUPPETRY AND MASK PERFORMANCE THROUGH EDUCATION. HOBT PUPPETRY PROGRAMS TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN SCHOOLS. HOBT HOSTED 15 ARTIST RESIDENCIES IN SCHOOLS ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES AND 670 STUDENTS WERE SERVED BY THOSE ARTISTS-IN RESIDENCE.
