All children are a gift from God.
If you have a child with a developmental disability, share them with us!

The HEART (Helping to Encourage Awareness and Recognition in Theater) Program is a full Inclusion program. 

Inclusion teaches respect, acceptance and encourages all students to become the best they can be. Inclusion models kindness, compassion and positive attitudes towards disability.

Helping:  We invite and welcome a new student with a developmental disability registered through HEART with a full scholarship to classes. 
Encourage:  Students are encouraged to enroll in classes, sign up to audition for shows and to get involved in all activities offered.
Awareness:  We teach awareness of accommodations that may be needed to support disability throughout classes and productions.
Recognition : Students have the opportunity to learn and grow in their social skills and talents alongside their peers.
Theater : Inclusion brings us together and together is where we belong.
