Your Help Matters.
Since our inception, we have offered all of our programs free of charge: no school has been charged for an in-school residency, no artists or teachers have paid to attend our professional developments, no audience member been given a ticket price. We are committed to creating truly accessible theater programs. We believe that any school who wants to offer drama programs to kids should be able to. We believe that any theater artist or organization that wants to learn about development programs for individuals with disabilities should have the opportunity.
Because of this, it is directly thanks to you, our amazing community, that we are now planning our 7th season. It is because of your support that we are able to continue to develop new programming and to produce new pieces. And sure, donations are always appreciated, but even more it is your presence in our audiences, your attendance of our workshops, and the ways you spread the world about Adaptive that allows us to keep doing this work.
We ask for your continued support as we work to raise awareness through theater.
We are now in the planning stages for our 2016-2017 season, which is proving to be our most ambitious yet. This season will mark a huge expansion for us as we begin our next devised production, develop new partnerships with local theaters and community organizations, and return to the classroom!

Audience Reactions
“ Theatre companies could learn from this model and Adaptive Arts is leading the way.”
– Christopher Thomasson, Associate Artistic Director, Boomerang Theatre Company
“I think Adaptive Arts is on an important mission in trying to make theater more accessible to those with disabilities. I've usually seen theater geared specifically towards those with physical disabilities, not taking into account those who might have a developmental disability. . . I could see all the thought and preparation that went into making it a more interactive event.”
- Cathy McNelis; Actor
“I'm glad I was there. Your production was smart, lively and winning. And Brecht ain't easy!”
- Rich Orloff; Playwright
