Your Support

With the generous support of the following organizations, corporations and individuals, the Jellybean Show has been recreated in 57 schools throughout 14 states. More than 3000 students with and without disabilities have performed for total audiences of 58,000 people.

Few students in special education programs have the opportunity to take theatre arts classes and almost none are invited to be part of main-stage high school plays. The Jellybean Show is unique in its efforts to create a collaborative theatre environment, where students with and without disabilities work together learning and demonstrating the joys of inclusion.

Outcomes have been so positive that we hope to bring this potential life-changing experience to new communities nationwide. Our goal for 2009-2011 is to see this Show recreated by at least 50 additional schools and eventually at every high and middle school in the country.
