10/02/2026

Julia and her D/deaf daughter, members of the Phoenix theatre community, were denied ASL Interpreters on their trip to New York with the simple desire to see a Broadway show. They were told providing captions on their personal cellphone met the requirements of the ADA. The ADA requires "equal access". Watching a Broadway show through captions on your cellphone is not equal access.

This is part of the mission of ASL Impact. Our goal is not to simply provide interpreters, but to spread awareness of the importance of ASL interpreters for equal access to theatrical spaces. Part of our work is teaching theatre spaces that the work we do is much like theirs: a creative and collaborative process. We work hard to convey the spirit of the playwright and artists who represent their vision on stage.

Are you a student interpreter or new to performance interpreting? Apply to be an intern!

Hands-up: Interns can get hands-up interpreting experience, working as part of a team with licensed mentor interpreters. This could look like feeding, taking one character or song to get your feet wet or taking an equal share of the script. It all depends on your skills, experience and comfort.

Observation: Interns can also take a strictly observational role. You would attend all team collaboration meetings, preview, and stumble-through to participate in the entire behind-the-scenes process.

Check out aslimpact.org to learn more and apply!
