Wendy Duke, co-founder of the Center for Applied Drama and Autism: “In Akron, Ohio, you’ll discover Theatre on the Spectrum, a day-theatre company for adults with disabilities that operates as a partnership between the Center for Applied Drama and Autism and Ardmore, Inc. … From actors in wheelchairs to players with cognitive disabilities, each player finds a common a desire to perform and entertain. They also share in common a frustration with the lack of both opportunity and accessible performance spaces that are essential to bringing about inclusion in the performing arts.” – Americans for the Arts
