The partnership reflects a shared commitment to inclusion, aligning the City’s accessibility goals with Area Stage’s long-standing leadership in accessible arts programming. The Unique Abilities Board is chaired by Maria Banda-Rodaz, Executive Director of Area Stage.

“As Chair of the Unique Abilities Board, I am deeply committed to championing the importance of accessibility in the City of South Miami. Every individual, regardless of their abilities, deserves the opportunity to engage with and experience what the City of South Miami has to offer, including the transformative power of the arts. Together, we can create an inclusive culture where everyone’s voice is celebrated and nurtured.”
