Disability and Theatre: A Practical Manual for Inclusion in the Arts

by Stephanie Barton Farcas

Disability and A Practical Manual for Inclusion in the Arts is a step-by step manual on how to create inclusive theatre, including how and where to find actors, how to publicize productions, run rehearsals, act intricate scenes like fights and battles, work with unions, contracts, and agents, and deal with technical issues. This practical information was born from the author’s 16 years of running the first inclusive theatre company in New York City, and is applicable to any performance children’s theatre, community theatre, regional theatre, touring companies, Broadway, and academic theatre. This book features anecdotal case studies that emphasize problem solving, real-world application, and realistic action plans. A comprehensive Companion Website provides additional guidelines and hands-on worksheets.

Even if you aren’t a theatre practitioner, I still highly recommend reading this book because there is a lot that can be implemented in everyday life so that we can make a society that is accessible to disabled folks!
