Outline

The “Hospital Theatre Project” delivers theatrical experiences to kids whose disabilities or illnesses prevent them from enjoying dramatic arts in standard theater settings. In hopes of sparking kids’ curiosity, enlivening their imaginations, and providing a forum for getting social and aesthetic exposure, the project breaks down the barriers that can be alienating young people between the stage and the audience to create free-wheeling, welcoming performances that put an emphasis on open participation. In addition to touring day service facilities for disabled children, the project also organizes “open days” for children with disabilities, their families, researchers, and performers at the Hosen College of Childhood Education.
