The Artist Development Workshop, part of Victory Gardens' Access Project, teaches the art of playwriting and performance to individuals with and without disabilities.

Now in its 15th year, the Victory Gardens Access Project is a nationally recognized model outreach effort designed to involve people with
disabilities in all aspects of theater, both on and off the stage.  Through the program, Victory Gardens has been Chicago's earliest adopter of assistive services such as providing Sign Language interpreted performances, as well as captioned and audio-described shows, large-print and Braille programs, pre-show Touch Tours of the theater and set, dedicated wheelchair seating, and TTY phone lines.

To receive updates on all Access Project activities, subscribe to the Access Project Newsletter by calling (773) 549-5788 x 2131 (voice), (773) 871-0682 (TTY), or sending email to information@victorygardens.org.

Originally developed by Remains Theater with funding from the Lila Wallace Readers Digest Resident Theater Initiative, the Victory Gardens Access Project is supported by Kraft Foods, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, the Harry S. Black & Allon Fuller Fund, Daniel Efner, the Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation, and the Samuel A. Burstein Family Foundation.
