The Mission of Detour Company Theatre is to
provide quality and authentic arts education and
performance opportunities for adults with
developmental and other challenges (including
deafness, blindness, and autism) through the
magic and the miracle of theatre.
Detour provides people with special needs a
unique, creative performance experience enabling
personal growth while breaking down stereotypes
related to disabilities within the community at
large.
Detour Company Theatre was founded in 2000 in
Phoenix, Arizona. In spring of 2009 Detour
presented its eighteenth musical, Beauty and the
Beast.
