Thanks to the generous support of our Season Two donors, Open Captioning is incorporated into every performance of the show, allowing all audience members to access the story with a multi-sensory approach. By approaching accessibility as a part of the artistic process from the very beginning with directors, designers and performers, we hope to create a more cohesive and inclusive theatrical process that better reflects the varied ways in which individuals experience the world.

Our Touch Tour and Audio Described performance will be held on Sunday, July 1st. The Touch Tour will start at 1:30pm before the 3pm performance that day.
