Program accomplishments

  • Ensembles: Actors with disabilities collaborate with a team of teaching artists and volunteer facilitators to create theatre and film projects. Each ensemble serves a maximum of 10 actors with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 15+. Ensembles meet for weekly rehearsals each week over the course of a 6-week or 12-week semester. A.B.L.E.'s 2024-2025 season centered on the theme of INVENTION, with a range of performances and public events.In the fall of 2024, ABLE hosted 3 showcase ensembles that produced Sparks of Invention - a festival of original work in November 2024 at Filament Theatre. In the spring, we hosted 3 six-week showcase ensembles; the in-person ensembles presented two sold-out cabarets at The Understudy, while the virtual ensemble created a series of short-form videos to be shared across ABLEs social media channels. Meanwhile, our performance Ensemble produced an original punk-rock-inspired adaptation of Frankenstein that performed to sold-out crowds April 24-27 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. As always, all ABLE performances prioritized audience accessibility, with pay-what-you-can ticketing, captioning. ASL interpretation, and a relaxed and sensory-friendly environment.Program Metrics: -Total Virtual Sessions = 16-Total In-Person Sessions = 45-Total program hours = 120-Total enrollment = 69-Total Live Streamed Performances = 9-Audience = 793
