THEATER ACCESS PROJECT (TAP) and ACCESSIBLE BROADWAY (AB)
TAP and AB provide access to the live theater
experience for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people of all ages!
From short one-hour plays to full blown Broadway musicals,
theater comes alive in a meaningful way for a new audience...AND
the hearing audiences get two-in-one experience, for the
most part being awed when witnessing the magic of the sign
language interpreters.
By partnering with the region's non-profit
and commercial theaters, as well as Arts-in-Education components
around the region, Creative Access offers all the opportunity
to expand their vision of "accessibility, opportunity
and inclusion and diversity" providing access "Beyond
the Ramp".Or, for those who prefer, closed-captioned
performances are available, and promotion of ALDs (Assisative
Listening Devices) in all of the theaters is ongoing.
And what about the children? School-day performances
are scheduled whenever possible, for Deaf and Hard of Hearing
children and youth, bringing the worlds of Deaf and hearing
young people together, all out and about in the arts life
of our City and Region.

Hi Carol
I just want to tell you yesterday Tom and I went to see
the show "Lion King". It was great. The interpreters
signed so graceful! It was worth to see the show. I hope
in the future there will have more drama shows with interpreters.
Thanks

GIANT)
Philadelphia Premiere
November 29, 2006 - January 28, 2007

From the award-winning author Roald Dahl (Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach)

Giant! Join the young orphan Sophie and the 24-foot

The BFG was declared "boisterously enjoyable"
by Britain's The Guardian. The BFG is full of zany,
mixed-up language, fantastical dreamscapes, and
eye-popping puppets created byacclaimed Philadelphia
puppeteer Aaron Cromie. Don't miss this delightfully
imaginative production, recommended for children
ages 5 and up.

One of the most beloved holiday tales of all time
is brought to life in a special hour-long musical
adaptation for kids in grades K-9th, and their “grown-up”

tells the heartwarming story of Mr. Scrooge, a grumpy
old miser, whose response to Christmas is “Bah,
humbug!” He is a bitter man who can no longer
feel joy or affection, even for his family. But
on one remarkable Christmas Eve he is visited by
the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
With their help, Scrooge undergoes a wondrous change.
He becomes filled with a holiday spirit that will
travel beyond the footlights, right into your very
own heart!
