Drama Clubs for Adults with Disabilities

Drama Club with Giselle encourages adults with intellectual and physical disabilities to experience the thrill of theater while learning skills and lessons that will help them thrive in every aspect of their lives. Drama programs help students build confidence, improve their communication skills, and express their creativity. Additionally, students will learn how to collaborate and get along with their peers and free their minds to accomplish things they didn’t think they could achieve. Classes use improv-based games and exercises to introduce students to the basics of acting such as: how to read dialogue, get into character, and move around the stage. Students will use what they have learned to work on short original scenes or plays (written specifically for them) with opportunities to perform on stage for family, friends, and the community. 
Drama Club brings the thrill of performing to students with disabilities, regardless of their age, background, or experience level.
