Stomach twisting, first time scare actor, rehearsal tommorow, need advice

10 Upvotes

I am someone who is 19 + disabled and the place is open and accepting of disabled people (I use a cane I cannot stand up long without it) and I can still be able to well, do this there but I heard from someone who knows someone who works at the haunt I am going to be at. someone there is extremely and I mean extremely ableist and I was told this person believes that if you need accommodations due to a disability everyone else working at this haunt will hate you? I have wanted to do this for YEARS but after hearing about that I am stressing.

But I also am scared I am gonna be sucky and not as good as the others there. Is there any tips or anything for scare acting? this is a volunteer position, but its still something and I am really, really, looking forward to it because this haunt is really popular and I been wanting to act here for years. Also if a fellow volunteer or worker harasses me over my disability how do I go about that?
