Ourinclusive theater companies  have been hard at work creating the themes, settings, plots, and characters for their ORIGNAL shows.

The scripts are officially complete, and our actors will now begin memorizing lines, blocking the scenes, and learning music & choreography.

Company A's show is called S'mores Wars.
Company B's show is called One Star Resort.

Mark your calendars â–¡ for our performance weekend - Saturday, March 12, and Sunday, March 13 2022 at McDaniel College.

Services include academic coaching, life skill coaching, dating coaching, job coaching, one-on-one drama therapy sessions, and more.

Here's what one parent had to say about her experience with our job coaching services:


"Thanks so much for your assistance with Jared's interview skills and resume.  Having the written feedback after each session provided a springboard for us to work on some things at home.  Jared successfully interviewed at Carroll Lutheran Village and got the job!!! EmojiEmojiEmoji  You were able to tailor the sessions to specifically what type of interview Jared would have, using his prior experience and references.  Thank you also for taking Jared to a Sykesville business for more practice interviewing!  The real-world experience taught him to be a little more flexible during an interview!"
