The Through Our Eyes Project (TOEP) is dedicated to promoting inclusion through it's creative arts programs and to providing education and training for audiences, businesses, schools, social organizations and all groups that work with a diversified population. 

ClubArtsOnStage in New Jersey was founded by Alan Rosen in 2001 as an inclusive performing arts program.  The Project was born when Through Our Eyes, The Musical, also written by Mr. Rosen, was introduced at the Kelsey Theater in Hamilton, NJ in 2006 to packed houses.  The show, through a series of vignettes and original music, tells stories of how special needs individuals see the world. The original cast and crew included individuals of all abilities, 60 cast members and a production team of more than twenty.  Since then many new cast members were added or replaced others.  In 2008 Through Our Eyes was performed at the United Nations in New York City for the Ghandi, King, Chavez Season's of Non-Violence Conference and in 2009 for the National Down Syndrome Society's Buddy Walk in NYC.

As a result of the show, inclusion and sensitivity sessions were provided to schools to both students and staff, to camps for Counselor training, and to other groups by request.

The Project will focus on training and education, and on TOCS - Together On Center Stage, an inclusive theater group who meet to create and present their own original theater pieces.  TOCS will provide a Performing Arts vehicle for people no matter their level of experience or abilities.  This program truly promotes inclusion and is dedicated to developing both social and performance skills, building self-esteem, discipline, responsibility, and positive values through the creative arts.

TOEP is proud to be associated with Cary Players (CP) in Cary, North Carolina.  CP is a NC 501 C3 nonprofit Community Theater Company  committed to providing  quality entertainment while respecting the players, being a positive influence for the good of the community,  educating, empowering, and welcoming.
