Prop Table
A Prop Table is a live interactive display designed to provide ways for our blind and low vision audience members to experience visual elements of the show. All audience members are invited to handle, touch, smell and listen to the curated items. Each display is uniquely created to enrich our mainstage shows with costume, prop and scenic elements. Everyone benefits from the multi-sensory connections they make to the world they are about to enter.

Accessibility Survey
The Walpole Footlighters have provided “Quality Theater Close to Home” for 100 years. As we move into our second century of community theater, we have a long-range goal to make our productions more accessible and welcoming. Please fill out our Accessibility Survey so we can plan accommodations that will best meet the needs of our community.
About 20% of the U.S. population experiences disability during their life span. By prioritizing accessibility, we not only comply with legal requirements but also widen our audience and enhance overall satisfaction. We can ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and engage in theater effectively.
Here are some terms to be aware of as you fill out the survey.
Access and accessibility are two terms often used interchangeably, but with distinct meanings when discussing disability. Understanding the difference is crucial for creating an inclusive and accessible environment.
Access refers to the ability to enter, use, or take advantage of something. In the context of theater, it means being able to have the ability to navigate and interact with the production content effectively.
Accessibility focuses on removing barriers and ensuring equal access for all individuals, regardless of their abilities. For theater, accessibility involves considering the diverse needs and preferences of users and creating inclusive solutions that will accommodate them.
Accommodation: something that meets a need.
