After controversy, Claudia Raia releases informative video about accessibility

Claudia says she wants to use her experience as a warning to other producers. ‘My message to the public that could have made the same mistake: if you see someone using headphones or other resources, remember: that is that person’s access to art. Theater is a place of encounter, of celebrating diversity. And in order for it to fulfill its role, it needs to be accessible in every way,’ she states. My learning as a producer, and message to other productions, is that it is important for the cast to be aware, and for everyone to be well informed about cellphone usage and its restrictions.
