A Nearly Comprehensive Guide to Accessible Theater

“This document is for theatre practitioners, able-bodied or disabled, who are invested in making their theatre spaces and communities more accessible. If you want to make sure your artistic space is a safe and accessible place for disabled people but you need some guidance or you’re not sure where to start, start with A Nearly Comprehensive Guide to an Accessible Theatre. It includes resources for directors, designers, actors, and leaders in the theatre community, as well as guidance for how to welcome disabled audience members, how to choose material ethically, and how to move forward if you work within a space that does not meet your accessibility needs. In each section, I offer questions to ask of yourself and your fellow artists and practitioners to get the conversation started about accessibility and brainstorm simple solutions to complex problems. Please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] with questions or suggestions! Content transparency: Please be aware that this document discusses ableism and the COVID-19 pandemic, and makes mentions of gunshots, seizures, acute illness/fever, and insomnia.”
