Our Mission

Phamaly Theatre Company's mission is to be a creative home for theatre artists with disabilities; to model a disability-affirmative theatrical process; and to upend conventional narratives by transforming individuals, audiences, and the world.

Our Vision

Phamaly Theatre Company strives to create a world in which disability and the differences within the human condition are celebrated and the theatre experience is accessible and welcoming to all.

Our Values

People First

Phamaly subscribes to a people-first mentality when traversing through the creative process. By focusing on and accommodating the individual, the collective and therefore the artistry is best served. We are committed to meeting people exactly where they are, always recognizing their humanity first and foremost, and giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Artistic Excellence

Phamaly believes diverse, unconventional, and unique experiences are essential to an artistically rigorous creative process. Therefore, Phamaly looks upon disability as an asset that can transform conventional stories and unlock creative potential within the theatrical community. This transformation of story and form can only be achieved by deconstructing traditional barriers, so disabled theatre artists can work freely and productively in order to achieve the best art possible.

Community Partnership

Phamaly is passionate about creating and supporting all members of its community – on stage and off. We look to model our disability affirmative practices throughout the theatrical community in Denver, the United States, and the World.

Disability Affirmative

Phamaly takes pride in the disabled identity of its community and believes in a non-hierarchical view of disability. As such, the cast at a Phamaly show should be representative of the full spectrum of disability identity. All accommodations and adaptations are the lifeblood coursing through the creative process at Phamaly. By affirming disability, we look to be bold by creating a safe space to allow for laughter, vulnerability, and fearlessness.
