The holidays are a chance for all to gather with family and friends to celebrate a season of charity, joy, and love.
We’ve rounded up three different play performances in Seattle that are ASL interpreted, open captioned, audio described, and sensory inclusive. With Christmas just around the corner, there is still time to have a festive night (or afternoon) out with your loved ones no matter the accessibility needs.
Irving Berlin’s White Christmas
The 5th Avenue Theatre
Based on the beloved, timeless film, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas comes just in time for the holiday season. After World War II, two veterans, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, begin a successful song and dance act, following two singing sisters to their Christmas gig at a Vermont resort lodge. With classic standards such as the titular hit, “Sisters,” “Snow,” “Blue Skies,” and “I Love a Piano,” White Christmas is a stirring and delightful musical that stands the test of time.
