Accessible theater envisions a community of shared expression that embraces the many ways we perceive the world.

ALL IN: The Festival of Accessible Theater is a project of Short Center Repertory, a theater company established in 1988 as a community outreach program of Developmental Disabilities Service Organization. Short Center Rep launched ALL IN in 2024 in collaboration with InnerVision Theater and Theater V58.

This year, ALL IN presents three original productions by Short Center Rep, InnerVision Theater and Theater V58 that explore the ways that disability creates connections and separations within families, among peers and in mainstream society.

The festival also features the Forum on Accessible Theater, an afternoon of discussion for theater practitioners, event producers, teachers, students, policymakers and service providers about the processes, techniques and considerations that go into presenting theater without barriers.
