Cary Players is proud to once again offer its unique inclusive theater initiative for individuals of all abilities and ages. TOCS provides a performing arts vehicle for each member of the group regardless of their level of experience or ability.  This program promotes inclusion and is dedicated to developing social and performance skills, building self-esteem, discipline, responsibility, and  positive values through the creative arts.

In November 2011, TOCS presented an original play, Ganip Ganopsical and the Strawberry Popsicle.  This show was conceived by the participants and received on stage by enthusiastic audiences.  See: http://carycitizen.com/2011/11/22/theater-tocs-ganip-warms-your-heart/.

This six week program will be held at Hope Community Church, 821 Buck Jones Road, Raleigh (near Crossroads Shopping area), Tuesday and Thursday evenings 6:45-8:45pm beginning May 8th.  There will also be one Saturday session on June 9th, 9:15am-11:15am.  On the last week - the sessions are Tues, WED (instead of Thursday-open dress rehearsal), and the show will be on Friday June 15th - with a fun cast party following the performance.

Cost for the program participants is $40.  TOCS "T" Shirts are available for $10 each if you do not own one from the previous program. There is no fee for volunteers although they may also purchase a "T" shirt.  The performance on June 15th is free for family, friends and the community, although we will have a donation box available for those who wish to give a gift toward this program.  The venue seats between 200-300 persons so there will be no reservations needed. 

TOCS provides all participants and volunteers a welcoming and caring environment for them to create their own production.  We are limiting this program to 18 participants and 5 volunteers (who will have specific tasks).  Volunteers are preferably not related to a participant and have a theater background and/or experience working with a diverse population.
