“We recently wrapped Out of My Mind in Toronto. It was a wonderful production in which our 13-year old lead actor who has cerebral palsy and used a power wheelchair worked every single day. We had actors and crew members spanning the full spectrum of abilities who were also part of our team. So much of the success of the production was due to the wonderful PACs (aka our All Access Team). Danielle Strnad from DramaWay in Toronto joined us as our Accessibility Coordinator and she and her team led us with tireless energy, creativity, dedication, and hard work.”

“Danielle Strnad, Lara Martin & Holly Lobbezoo from DramaWay made up most of our Accessibility Team (Access Team they called it - even better name!) and they brought such joy, love, smarts, helpfulness and ease to the set every day. If anyone wants to know how hard it is to make a set accessible for EVERYONE the answer is: NOT AT ALL!

Because these women made it that way! Adding this team to our crew only added love and ease for everyone. Can’t thank them enough for all they did for me, for the film, and for all our actors! I know Phoebe Taylor loved you guys and so did everyone!”

“Without the team from DramaWay and the expert guidance of Danielle Strnad, our production would not have had the expertise to guide and fulfill the needs of our performers with disabilities. Having an all access abilities team not only enriched the production but fulfilled needs that we would have never known, Truly an asset to all productions. Thank you.”
