Mandate (What we do)

Glitch Theatre creates and produces performances that deepen conversations about D/disability*, exploring identity, agency, and belonging.

Mission (How we do it)

We create disability-led work in which D/disability itself is often not the focus but the landscape upon which we explore universal issues. Our projects challenge stereotypes and resist expected narratives, push boundaries, and ask critical questions. We build community, creating spaces where emerging and experienced artists alike can share stories that need to be heard.

We commit to growing the canon of plays written by artists with D/disabilities via the development of new work. We seek to explore innovative new forms including audio, video, and interdisciplinary art. We prioritize accessibility not only as necessary, but as creatively generative.

Vision (Our goal)

We work toward a diverse and barrier-free performing arts world that reflects the full spectrum of not only D/disability but lived human experience.

Core Values

• Authenticity and nuance in representing D/disability;
• Innovation and elevation in content, medium, and aesthetic;
• Accessibility and inclusivity in process and presentation;
• Respect and care in every practice, always.
