What makes me passionate aboutAccessible Theatre Project?
I have several personal experiences with autism and wish something similar to ATP had been available for my family back in the UK. I think it’s an incredibly innovative program that provides support for both those on the spectrum and for their family and friends.
My favoriteAccessible Theatre Project Memory:
I remember sitting next to one family at the First Year Players production of “The Addams Family” and giving one little boy a stress ball. The enjoyment and look of relief on his face as he played with it throughout the production really illustrated to me every little difference ATP makes.

The Jefferson Literary and Debating Society, Charlottesville Area Riding Therapy, The Cavalier Daily
