Barrier-Free proudly presents Theater Intensive & Cabaret!!! An innovative approach to our inclusive theater season for the 2026-2027 season!!

A cabaret is a performance made up of a variety of shorter acts rather than one continuous storyline. It can include songs, scenes, monologues, comedy, movement, original pieces, non-original pieces, and other forms of our favorite kinds of performances.

For our actors, the cabaret format creates even more opportunities for individual choice, creativity, and time in the spotlight. We’ll be able to develop pieces around each actor’s unique strengths, interests, personality, and performance goals while still working together to create a cohesive show.

The Theater Intensive portion of our season will give us the opportunity to dig deeper into acting and performance skills, with dedicated time for our actors to grow their craft, challenge themselves, explore new areas of theater, and build our cabaret set list.
