2026 DRAMATICALLY ABLE REGISTRATION FORM
Access Virginia and Virginia Stage Company are pleased to offer 2026 Dramatically Able Workshops for students with visual impairments. We would like to inform you and your child of this unique opportunity. Classes will take place at the Wells Theatre in downtown Norfolk on Saturdays this spring. Dramatically Able will culminate with an on-stage theatrical performance by the students. Dramatically Able Workshops are free for students. 

Sessions will take place February 14 - June 13, 2026, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm @ Wells Theater, 110 E. Tazewell Street, Norfolk, VA in the Education Classroom on the 2nd Floor. The Showcase Performance will take place on June 6, 2026. There are no practices on April 4, 2026 or May 23, 2026.

Please note that actors are invited to attend the Virginia Stage Company's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on March 21st but attendance is not required. The show is free and starts at 2:00 pm. We will stay after practice to attend. It will be over at approximately 5:00 pm and lunch will be provided (pizza).

For those of you who are new to this high-quality program, this is the ninth year for Dramatically Able. Drama is typically a visual art form. It is rich in opportunities for all children.  Dramatic activities such as role-playing, storytelling, improvisation, and pantomime, exercise the imagination, build communication skills, and provide an opportunity to work cooperatively with others.  Not only will your child be introduced to all the aspects of the theatre from theatrical professionals, but this cooperative effort will also provide dramatic activities that will help develop verbal and non-verbal communication skills, while building self-esteem, increasing self-awareness, and improving self-confidence.  

In collaboration with theatre artists and teachers for students with visual impairments, the drama activities have been specially designed for children with visual impairments. What an innovative and fun way for your child to also develop their Expanded Core Curriculum skills and become Dramatically Able!

June 13, 2026 - Wrap-up, Celebrations

Because this workshop involves a script and actors performing together, I will ensure that my actor is present at all workshops and, especially, for the final showcase performance on June 6, 2026. 


In addition, I understand that practice sessions begin promptly at 10:00 am and will ensure this participant arrives on time.  

In the event that there are circumstances when the actor cannot attend or will be late, I will let the organizers know as soon as possible.
