In 2008, newly promoted Program Coordinator Sandy Izzo presented the idea of beginning a drama program as a part of our Day Services program. In 2009, only ten people were involved in rehearsal. The group later became the Creative Expressions Players and is now 40 plus members strong thanks to our dedicated staff members.
The overall mission of Creative Expressions Players is to expand the participant’s knowledge of the arts and to create opportunities for them to gain confidence and perform on a stage. Furthermore, the program encourages and develops skills such as cooperation, listening, following directions, projecting their voice, learning choreography, and memorizing lines. With every performance and with each loud applause, our actors become more confident and well spoken both on and off stage.
The Creative Expression Players’ Variety Shows have enthralled and enchanted audiences, and the group has performed numerous shows, including:
- Our Favorite Things
- Bridges to Broadway
- Entertainment Through the Years
- More of our Favorite Things
- Search for Jessie
- Let’s Go to the Movies
- The Magic of Music
- Will the Show EVER go on?
