A working guide to inclusive theatre production

This manual approaches inclusion through the practical demands of putting on a production. Its coverage ranges from finding performers and publicizing a show to rehearsals, complex staged action, contracts, union and agent relationships, and technical questions. Anecdotal case studies connect those topics with problem-solving and action plans, while companion-site guidelines and worksheets extend the book’s hands-on resources. The scope spans children’s, community, regional, touring, Broadway, and academic theatre, making the guidance relevant across a broad range of performance settings. The book draws on Stephanie Barton Farcas’s experience running an inclusive theatre company in New York City.

Book overview

Disability and Theatre: A Practical Manual for Inclusion in the Arts is a step-by step manual on how to create inclusive theatre, including how and where to find actors, how to publicize productions, run rehearsals, act intricate scenes like fights and battles, work with unions, contracts, and agents, and deal with technical issues. This practical information was born from the author's 16 years of running the first inclusive theatre company in New York City, and is applicable to any performance level: children's theatre, community theatre, regional theatre, touring companies, Broadway, and academic theatre. This book features anecdotal case studies that emphasize problem solving, real-world application, and realistic action plans. A comprehensive Companion Website provides additional guidelines and hands-on worksheets.
