A Google Search
I started my search for disabled theatres in America on Google. When I first typed in disabled theatre in to the search engine I receive information about disabled seating in different theatre venues. This was not what I was hoping to find. Does the American public only expect disabled theatre to just be theatre goers and not be on stage. It would have been more interesting to get a list of theatres that have accessible stages. To be far there were several useful links to a list of disabled theatres. The list contained a large amount of deaf theatres and just a few groups that included all disabilities, PHAMALY was on this list. This list also had several groups devoted to developmental disabilities. Only one link on the list actually lead directly to a groups web page. Graeae theatre appears to be one of the most dominate disabled performing groups, but it isn't located in the US. It can be found in London, in its own performing arts complex. Where is America's disabled theatre performing arts complex? There does seem to be a National Theatre Workshop for the Disabled. I will have to look deeper.
