In January I talked about Ability Theatre, which enables children and youth with special needs to express themselves using drama. This company is located in Vancouver, and I recently heard about DramaWay, a company with a similar mission, located in Toronto.
DramaWay has programs for children and youth who are interested in visual arts, singing, drama, leadership, film, and music. The programs encourage the development of self-confidence, communication and social skills, focus and concentration, creative expression, vocal health, listening and aural perception skills, self-discipline, and self-awareness. There are programs for individuals and for schools and organizations.
On June 16th, DramaWay will be presenting an adapted version of Peter Pan in The PaperMill Theater in Toronto - the first time they will be performing in a full theatre! Check out the facebook event and see if you will be in Toronto to celebrate and support the company and the performers!
Amazing companies like DramaWay and Ability Theatre can bring so much to someone who wouldn't have the opportunity without them. Thank you for continuing to work so hard to make life better for children and youth with special needs!

Stay Beautiful,
