The company of disposable bodies aims to provide opportunities for disabled and immunocompromised members of the community to be more safely welcomed at the theater. We ask that you please wear a mask to help protect you, those around you, and the company. If you do not have a mask, one can be provided by any member of the theater staff. 

The theater is wheelchair accessible. To request a removable seat or inquire about other access needs, please reach out to abbeyjburgess@gmail.com
