  • We’re blown away! Thanks to your incredible support, we exceeded our Colorado Gives Day goal, raising $26,643 to champion disabled art and accessibility. Your generosity does so much more than pay the bills—it sends a powerful message that accessibility is a human right and that disabled art deserves to be celebrated and uplifted. Together, we’re transforming stories, breaking barriers, and elevating disability on stage and beyond. Here’s to an amazing 2025. See you at the theatre! #ThankYou #Phamaly #AccessibleArt ID: A group photo from Phamaly's special Colorado Gives Day performance with the Colorado Symphony.

They are all wearing festive clothing and are in front of a screen that reads, "A Holiday Concert with The Colorado Symphony and Phamaly Theatre Company. A sensory-inclusive performance at Lone Tree Arts Center." There are also QR codes for the program and donating to Phamaly. At the bottom, it reads, "thank you!"
