BARRIER-FREE THEATRE

Barrier-Free Theatre
Including Everyone in the Arts

What is Barrier-Free Theatre?
Barrier-Free Theatre offers therapeutic arts programming for children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities.  The programs provide an inclusive space for individuals to share their voices in a creative way!  The mission for Barrier-Free Theatre is to enhance overall wellness of everyone involved, provide an opportunity to boos self-esteem, validate talents, establish life skills, as well as create lasting friendships.  Our wish is for Barrier-Free Theatre to continue to give participants, volunteers, and audience members the platform needed to  work together to break down the stigma of disabilities in our community

Testimonials:

“Opening night arrived, and I felt comfortable as my character from our play, Super Ability: My Power Within. I didn’t feel unsure anymore. This program brought me back to the theatre and reignited my passion, which I thought was long lost.” Allison Haire, Barrier-Free Theatre Adult Participant

 

“I believe it is a wonderful program for not only the people involved, but for the community as well. The program has had a significant emotional impact on the my participating clients, who have demonstrated very positive changes in their lives and daily routines.” Anna Wamhoff, MT-BC Music Therapist at Hillcroft Services
