Adult Actors With Special Needs

Explore our world of wonder and accomplishment

Our Staff / Board of Directors

Like our founders, our staff consists of moms, aunts, retired teachers and friends who are committed to the future development of individuals with special needs. This group of volunteers also recognizes that there are limited venues available to shine a light on what one can do when given a chance.

Parents and friends of our actors share their talents as scenery designers, choreographers and hair and makeup artist.
