Performing Arts: Drama for People with and without Disabilities
|
|
Renegade Garage Players Summer Theater - Begun in March 1993, this is the groups bedrock program: theater which involves people with and without disabilities in full-length productions. In the past, the group has performed challenging play selections by such authors as Ibsen, Wilder and Ionesco. Actors, directors, technically oriented people, and general volunteers are all needed to help.
The groups prides itself on incorporating people
of all ability levels and interests into the
play productions. Three to four shows are usually held each summer. Admission is
by donation. Donations made at
performances benefit the Renegade Garage
Players, Inc. This year's shows include To
Kill A Mockingbird, The Good Doctor, Romeo and
Juliet, Hedda Gabler and Godspell.

Monthly Service Projects - The group performs
several service projects for other Greater Cincinnati non-profits. The group finds ways for all participants, regardless of ability level, to make meaningful contributions to the service project. Past service sites have included The Brighton Center, the Pendleton Heritage Center and the Over-the-Rhine Neighborhood Garden.
When possible, the Renegade Garage Players will
work in conjunction with other service groups
such as Give Back, Cincinnati.
