Thanks to a $10,900 Resilient Communities Fund grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2022, Shakespeare in the Ruff (Ruff) has been working to expand its accessibility capacity as an organization over the past year. The project has involved consulting with Deaf and disability community advisors Elizabeth Morris, Alex Bulmer, and Ophira Calof, and training to make Ruff’s website accessible.
“I was very pleased to see the efforts of Shakespeare in the Ruff recognized and supported by OTF,” said Peter Tabuns, MPP for Toronto-Danforth. “It is no surprise that Ruff has undertaken this project to make Shakespeare available to an even wider audience.”
