Through Our Eyes debuted in 2006 as a musical theater production about how life is seen through the eyes of special needs individuals. Their stories, told in a series of vignettes and original songs, are at times poignant, humorous, and moving. The cast of 60 is split evenly between those with disabilities and healthy teens and adults who cared to share the stage and help tell their stories.
Through Our Eyes has evolved into a special needs awareness program for schools, social organizations, religious institutions and businesses. Money raised from the show goes toward funding special needs awareness educational programs.
The Cast of Through Our Eyes was honored by being asked to sing as the featured performers at the King, Gandhi, Chavez-Seasons For Non-Violence Conference at the UNITED NATIONS in New York City on March 12, 2008.
You can bring Through Our Eyes to your location as a fund-raiser, or an educational program. either as the full production, or shortened to meet your needs. We will also cast local actors, both abled and disabled, who will join a nucleus of our national cast members.
Alan Rosen, Executive Director, writer and composer of Through Our Eyes has been named the recipient of the 2009 VSA Arts of NJ's Dare To Imagine Award for making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
Through Our Eyes is produced by Allies, Inc., of Hamilton, NJ…a nonprofit organization providing life changing services and programs for special needs individuals since 1999. |
