About
Friendship Theatre
Theatre is an amazing opportunity to step out of our own worlds and be transformed into something else. Through theatre we can learn about the world, life, friendship and ultimately ourselves. Unified Theatre will give students with special needs an opportunity to express themselves in new and unique ways, break down stereotypes that others may have of them, connect with new people, grow socially and communicatively, and experience the magic of theatre.
​​
This will encourage children of all ages to step away from their screens,open up, have a voice, work as a team, and ultimately give all children the opportunity to work together, with their peers, to put on a production of a small show. It will help children find their voice and give children an outlet to express themselves.
​
Our project is a theatre initiative geared to unify ALL students in order to put on a play. Theatre has helped each of us meet new people, express ourselves in new ways, and gain an overall sense of accomplishment and confidence. We want to extend this opportunity to all students and work together with one another to aid each other in finding their voices through theatre
