SUMMARY:“Waiting for the Bus” Script Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Art Spark Texas along with members of TILT Performance Group and ATX Theatre ConFab producers for a developmental reading of James Burnside’s “Waiting for the Bus\,” a new play on America’s long and troublesome history of institutionalizing people with disabilities. \nSynopsis: The history of the institutionalization of disabled people\, particularly people with intellectual and developmental disabilities\, in America began in the 1840s with the noble notion of “Moral Therapy.” That what would “cure” these people was light\, fresh air\, good food\, and honest work. Large gothic facilities were built in the countryside\, and they rapidly became overcrowded\, poorly maintained\, and poorly staffed while “patients” were subjected to all manner of experimental “procedures.” This play could easily have been just another horror show​. And that would certainly be a large portion of the truth\, but lost would be the humanity of the people who lived in these institutions—people with hopes and dreams and love\, people with family and friends. \nAfterwards\, stay for a talk led by AST Executive Director Celia Hughes where you can gain new perspectives about what it’s like to live with or without accommodations directly from cast and audience members living with disabilities and from advocates who specialize in providing accommodations. \nTHIS IS THE PLACE where you can finally ask all those burning questions about exactly how to create events that are more accessible to ALL audiences—with the added benefit of witnessing methods in action during the reading. \nWe will provide ASL interpreting\, audio description\, and open captions.

SUMMARY:Disney's Mary Poppins (Audio Described)
DESCRIPTION:Austin ISD Summer Theatre Series proudly presents MARY POPPINS\, the story of the Banks family who live in a big house in London on Cherry Lane. Things are not going well for the family\, the children\, Jane and Michael\, are out of control and are in need of a new nanny.

When a mysterious young woman named Mary Poppins appears at their doorstep\, the family finds that she’s the answer to their prayers\, but in the most peculiar way. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures\, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones she has a profound effect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “anything can happen if you let it.” \nThis audio described performance runs from 7 PM to 11 PM. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Information: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cast-b-bert-cast-disneys-mary-poppins-asl-audio-description-avail-tickets-660662789187 \n \nImage Description: Graphic of Mary Poppins dressed in a red coat and flying with her suitcase in hand.
