 Who are the Starcatchers?
The Starcatchers is NTPA’s Therapeutic Arts program designed specifically for children and adults with disabilities. In this program, students are given opportunities to shine through drama, music, dance, and visual art. These opportunities range from large theatre productions to intimate art classes and include people of all ages. The Starcatchers believe that the future of the performing arts is accessible to all.
Not only can a student’s involvement in the arts strongly impact multiple areas of their life, but it can also have an impact on the community. What makes the Starcatchers program unique is not just the work with children and adults with disabilities, but its relational approach to the work. Our Performance Partners support our actors in specific areas, such as learning lines, learning stage cues, prompting during performances, facilitating small group activities, and other support needs as specified on an individual basis. Through this partnership, Starcatcher students are able to advocate for themselves and their needs and build connections with their community.
