OPrak transcends barriers—physical, sensory, financial and cultural—for people with and without disabilities.

We demonstrate what’s possible when people with disabilities live with ease in a world that is created in concert with them.

A world that welcomes, engages and honors the authentic lived experience of every individual. We find alternate pathways through the barriers that keep us siloed from one another.

OPrak champions community and operates as an interabled performing arts organization.

Everyone at OPrak is a professional artist - from performers and stage hands to administrators and producers. Everyone matters. Respect is offered in a two-way dialogue with generous reciprocity.

Every artist is empowered to advocate for their needs and is encouraged to ask for what they need with confidence.

Every artist gives the best of themselves to serve the work and their colleagues.
