Our Story

Theatre for All was born out of a realization that people with disabilities who were passionate about theatre, had very little access to the arts. This had to change.

So in 2015 Kim Henry, Dylan Patterson, and Gina Gambony established TFA, following a semester of successful outreach work at Laney High School.

A registered 501(c)(3) non profit company, TFA continues to grow. Since inception, TFA has tripled the membership, doubled performances, created a dance company, a choir, a Leadership program with employment opportunities and continues to expand the Outreach program, bringing arts into schools for students with disabilities at no cost.

While TFA leans towards life affirming, positive messages, TFA is not affiliated to any religious denomination or political party and holds the freedom of creative exploration as a precious tenent of the creative process. The TFA Companies are age 18+ and reserve the right to explore a wide range of issues and ideas.

TFA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation in any of its activities or operations.
