What We Do
Theatre for All (TFA) teaches the fundamental skills of theatre (and film due to Covid-19) and creates high quality plays (films) with adults with physical, developmental and/or intellectual disabilities. TFA advocates for arts programs, social integration, employment within the arts, creative empowerment and provides an essential support system for those impacted by disabilities. TFA has an extensive Outreach program in high schools across New Hanover County and trains its most experienced members to become teaching assistants, providing part time employment for adults with disabilities. TFA believes in the power of theatre (film) to create positive change within communities and that everyone deserves access to the arts.
Interesting Info
- TFA supports around 200 people with disabilities a year through its main company and Outreach programs.
- The disability population experiences the highest number of depression and suicide among minorities in America. This is largely due to isolation and exclusion.
- TFA is working on having its own space in order to expand its program even further, creating an essential support network.
