About Open Door Theater: Since its founding in 1980, Open Door Theater has remained committed to its unique, inclusive mission: to provide a theatrical learning experience to families and people with special needs.

We have presented 34 musicals, each with an inclusive multi-generational cast and crew.

Actors and crew members with a wide variety of challenges have always been part of our community and our productions.

Open Door is committed to finding ways to accommodate and celebrate each cast and crew member's individual physical or cognitive differences in a way that accentuates and honors each actor’s strengths and abilities.

We are also committed to ensuring that our performances are as accessible as possible, to as wide an audience as possible.

Nine shows have featured an ASL-interpreted performance, beginning in 2006, and since 2013 we have offered a sensory friendly performance especially designed for audience members with autism and sensory challenges.

An audio described performance for visually impaired audiences was added in 2014.

In addition to our annual production, Open Door participates in a variety of community outreach programs, including being selected as one of only 10 non-profit organizations enrolled in the Massachusetts Cultural Council's UP Learning and Innovation Program to become more universally accessible.

The cast and crew of our 2014 production of Working were proud to be awarded the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theater's DASH Special Consultants Choice Award for Excellence in Accessibility to All.
