Acting and Performing for Actors with Development Disabilities and Autism

ArtStream performances feature adult actors with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) — including autism — and other social and behavioral needs. Actors, volunteer mentors, and theatre professionals work as a team to create original performances for live audiences. 

Art Stream teaches acting techniques and communication skills in inclusive classes designed for individuals with developmental disabilities, autism and other behavioral needs.  

Classes build skills that are applicable in all aspects of life: from the stage to the family dinner table, to Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings and the workplace. Class subjects may include comedy, music theatre, improv, public speaking, role-play, party dancing, and social skills.
