Being disabled myself, accessibility in theatre is something that has been, and always will be of the utmost importance to me. I use my platform often to talk about how I wish theatre would change for the better, but my voice is just one in a sea of voices that deserve to be heard. Accessibility looks different for every person with access needs, which is why it's so important to listen to the adjustments that we're asking for. Everyone should have the right to enjoy theatre, and be safe whilst doing so.
I reached out and asked people with access needs to contribute a short paragraph on why accessibility in theatre is so important to them, and the individual changes they'd like to see in the foreseeable future. I loved reading everyone's contributions to this piece, and I hope you do too.
