Union Arts Center Closes “Shrew” This Weekend with Inclusive Performances
Union Arts Center presents an ASL interpreted and audio described performance of their playful take on Shakespeare. Plus, the Midwest comes to Seattle with “Shucked” and On the Boards receives a record-breaking donation.
This weekend, continue the playfulness of Halloween with a performance full of drag, puppetry...and Shakespeare—the closing weekend of Shrew takes the stage at Union Arts Center with ASL interpreted and audio described performances.
Later this month, the uproarious musical Shucked delivers big laughs and even bigger heart, with ASL-interpreted and audio-described performances making sure no joke or note is missed. For a swashbuckling good time, The Pirates of Penzance comes fully open-captioned, letting every clever lyric and comic twist shine. The Humans offers a deeply moving story enhanced by a sensory-friendly matinee, inviting audiences to feel every moment in comfort. Meanwhile, the thrilling adaptation of The Da Vinci Code is accessible with ASL interpretation, and the glitzy, iconic Chicago offers open captions and tactile experiences, giving audiences a hands-on sense of the razzle-dazzle.
Whether you’re planning a night out with friends, a family outing, or a first-time theatre adventure, November’s Seattle arts scene makes it possible to see, hear, and feel every performance in full, inclusive style.
