We are sharing a survey flyer from THE OLD GLOBE.
QR Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeq80Tw7K5s4rKEAPmoVtZzc7mG1tZSCXwwOTGc6MczBkbBug/viewform
Visual Description:
A solid tomato red banner covering the first quarter of the flyer with a white header title that reads "ASL Community" followed by a white sub heading title that reads "Please share your thoughts with us." Above the header title is the THE OLD GLOBE logo, also in white. Below the tomato red banner is a photo covering about one-third of the flyer, which depicts an audience in a theater, where they are all facing the stage. The stage is cropped out from the photo. Although the theater is dark, and lights are shining towards the stage and away from the audience, the faces of the audience are still illuminated. In the photo, tightly-packed audience members can be observed in the balcony section and the lower section. The walls are tomato red, with segments of black squares, or perhaps sound-dampening decors. Below the photo is a red text in bold that reads: "Are you an ASL user who loves live theatre, would like to experience more of it, or experience it for the first time?" The rest of the flyer reads:
The Old Globe is planning a pilot ASL-Interpreted Performance Series for our 2027
season, and your input can help shape it!
We want to know what days, times, and shows would work best for you when
attending an ASL-interpreted performance. Your responses will help us plan a series
that works for the people it’s designed to serve.
Got a few minutes? Tell us what you think!
Scan the QR code or CLICK HERE to complete the questionnaire
and help us bring consistent ASL-interpreted theatre experiences
to the Globe.

So Say We All San Diego (SSWA) invites you to FLIPPING THE S’CRIP’T - True Stories Told by Disabled Storytellers on October 15, 2026 at Kairoa Brewing, an evening of stories that reflect the depth, complexity, humor, grief, creativity, and expertise within disabled communities as lived and told by disabled storytellers.

To produce this event, SSWA is partnering with San Diego Writers Ink and Jennifer Gasner (she/her), a San Diego memoirist, disability advocate, and full-time wheelchair user who has been actively involved in the local writing community for more than 10 years. We are committed to making this accessible to everyone. The event is wheelchair accessible, near public transportation routes, and equipped with accessible restrooms and accommodations such as ASL interpretation so community members can participate fully. If additional accommodations are needed, including financial support, please e-mail [email protected].

For tickets Please go to: Tickets on Eventbrite

FLIPPING THE S’CRIP’T is the first in a quarterly disability-led storytelling event series supported by a grant from the California Arts Council with the mission to create accessible pathways for disabled artists to develop, perform, archive, and publicly share lived experiences while increasing cultural visibility, empathy, and community connection across San Diego.

We’ve attached an event flyer to share with your network. Please feel free to reach out to us with questions – we’d love to connect with you about the power of storytelling and how we can support your community.

See you at the shows!
