Barrier Free Theatre Barrier-Free Theatre is a nuts-and-bolts, comprehensive guide for making drama accessible to everyone with/without disabilities.

Barrier-Free Theatre of Manhattan, Kansas is a model of the method, annually creating an original play with community members. Theatre arts can "level the playing field" and empower participants of all ages. Theatrical interactions create relationships that last long after a performance is over. Written for teachers of theatre arts, recreation leaders, special educators, therapists, and other grou

p leaders, this book explains in simple, non-technical language how to make accommodations and adaptations for successful participation in creative drama, improvisation, puppetry, rehearsals for traditional plays, and development of new plays geared to participants' strengths. Actors will gain self-confidence, improve their communication skills, find new ways to express themselves, and work more effectively and creatively with others. Ways to use theatre arts as a tool to teach traditional classroom subjects, such as science, social studies, and language arts, are highlighted, as well as using drama for instruction in social interaction and other vital life skills. Chapter 12 focuses on inclusion issues with typically developing peers in aesthetic, educational, and recreational settings.
