Project Description
Developmental Disabilities Service Organization seeks CAC funding to help establish ALL IN: The Festival of Accessible Theater as an annual cultural event in the Sacramento region. DDSO launched the festival in 2024 as an outreach project funded by a Creative Corps grant. Given the community’s positive response, DDSO will present a second festival in late June of this year. CAC grant funding would support a third festival in June 2026.
Grant funds would help compensate the festival’s artistic and administrative directors; audio describers for festival performances; speaker fees for the Forum on Accessible Theater during the festival; venue rental; photography, videography and graphic design services; and printing and advertising.
Grant funding would also support training in technical and performance skills for actors from Short Center Repertory, InnerVision Theater and Theater V58.
Organization Summary
DDSO runs four multidisciplinary art centers serving Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties, and one life skills program for adults with severe and profound disabilities. Outreach programs include a touring theatre company (The Short Center Repertory), a public art mural project, and an online archive of artists with developmental disabilities.
