Barrier-Free 1xbet online casino presents original one-act play in Purple Masque 1xbet online casino
Monday, April 9, 2018
MANHATTAN — Kansas State University's Barrier-Free 1xbet online casino , in collaboration with the Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department, will present an original one-act play at 7:30 p.m. April 20 and 21 and 2:30 p.m. April 22 in the Purple Masque 1xbet online casino in West Stadium.
Founded in Washington, D.C., almost 30 years ago by Sally Bailey, Barrier-Free 1xbet online casino includes actors with and without disabilities. When Bailey came to Kansas State University to teach drama therapy, she established the program here. It has now been presenting original one-act plays for 20 years in Manhattan. Bailey is director of drama therapy for K-State 1xbet online casino and the Barrier-Free 1xbet online casino program director.
The number of actors who want to participate grows each year, as have their skills. Up to 25 actors with disabilities are cast, along with students from Kansas State University and community members who love the challenge of devising a totally new play each season.
This year's cast and production staff includes 11 Kansas State University students and 22 people from Manhattan and the surrounding area, most of whom have intellectual and developmental disabilities. Riley Gray, drama therapy master's student, West Lafayette, Indiana, is the script writer/director.
"Barrier-Free 1xbet online casino is a win-win experience for everyone," Bailey said. "In addition to all the skills the actors learn, they are able to share their creation with the entire Manhattan community. Students at K-State learn how to devise 1xbet online casino and how to work creatively with people with disabilities. The community is able to witness how creative and talented our actors, who tend to be dismissed as having little to offer, truly are."
