<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Palatino; color: rgb(22, 26, 30);">I am thrilled to announce specially designed Enhanced Access performances of Theater of the Mind, the new immersive experience created by David Byrne and Mala Gaonkar and presented by Off-Center, a division of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA). We design for and offer Enhanced Access performances to welcome audience members who require specific accommodations. These include performances that are ASL Interpreted, Audio Described/Tactile Performances, and Sensory and Extended Time Performances. All of the exhibit is wheelchair accessible.</p>
