Act One tells the story of Theatre Adventure
Act Two offers guidance for creating your own inclusive theater programming for various settings
It all began with an idea…
to create opportunities for youth and adults with disabilities to experience the empowerment, delight, and wonderment of theater.
This Guidebook is for those who are looking for a way to enrich the lives of people who have disabilities — people who have struggled to find their voices, speak their minds, and take their own places in their communities. Neurotypical aspiring actors also benefit from our model of theater that celebrates everyone’s individuality.
Imagine…
the power of being on a stage and presenting one’s story character with conviction and verve — and the audience stands and cheers!
People with diverse abilities as well as challenges move mountains: barriers are broken, lives are transformed, and communities become healthier.
We believe that with your own vision, you can make this happen in your own community.
