About Scripted Companies
Inclusive Theatre Companies are designed for adults (18+) with intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities and adults who are on the Autism Spectrum.
The companies are directed by trained theatre professionals. An original script is developed during the rehearsal process through improvisation techniques. A play is scripted and then blocked, memorized by the actors and performed for the public. The final production is designed to showcase each actor’s unique talents.
Each company will be limited to 15 people.
Inclusive Theatre Companies require an audition in order to participate.
