Profile

[NPO Theatre Accessibility Network]
With the motto "Let's all enjoy the stage together," this is an organization that supports theatergoing with the initiative of the people concerned. It was established as a voluntary organization in December 2012, and was certified under the Specified Non-Profit Activities Law in July 2013. In April 2014, with grants from the Saison Foundation and the Nippon Foundation, we created an accessible performance information site and held a symposium in March 2015. Consultations on theater support and requests for lectures are always accepted.
