Serving Everyone in our Community

At SpeakEasy Stage, we pride ourselves on providing an inclusive, accessible environment, welcoming everyone who wants to partake in our art, while treating all involved with respect.

We expect our artists, patrons, board members, and staff to:

• Respect all cultural backgrounds and identities.
• Understand each individual’s right to be at the theater and enjoy it in their own way while being mindful of those around them.
• Show appreciation for the facility and those working within it.

Producing shows made by and for our community means coming together with mutual respect at all times.

We also want to make sure that everyone feels not only included, but actively wanted in our space, and so we are dedicated to expanding the accessibility resources and programming we offer. 

In coming seasons, we are committed to offering the following, for select productions:

• Open Captioning – specially scheduled performance with live captioning visible to all patrons
• Audio Description – live narration of visual elements to be experienced through headphones while watching the show live
• Sensory Friendly Performance – a relaxed performance intended for those on the autism spectrum, with sensory sensitivities, or with other needs that might benefit a more relaxed environment

Information about which performances in our 2021-2022 season will offer these performances coming soon.
