Fall back into a season of vibrant performances this November
We welcome the new month with accessible performances, a magical show at Berkeley Rep, and new ticket sales.
The Bay Area’s arts scene is expanding its commitment to accessibility, recognizing that the power of performance should be for everyone. For organizations across the city, making the performing arts accessible goes beyond simply meeting ADA requirements; it’s about creating an inclusive space where each audience member feels welcome and has the opportunity to engage fully in the arts. Accessible performances make this possible, from ASL interpretation and audio descriptions to sensory-friendly environments that bring everyone into the experience.
If you’re looking for shows that offer a more inclusive experience—whether that’s theatre, dance, or musicals—there are some fantastic upcoming performances. These events not only celebrate the talent on stage but also honor the diverse needs and preferences of their audiences, so everyone can enjoy the joy and magic of live art.
On the Stage
There’s magic, dance, and forbidden love on the Bay Area stages this week. Welcome the new month with something new and surprising.
