Theatre on the Spectrum

Adult Day Company Opens!

In collaboration with Ardmoreinc.org, we have begun a Monday through Friday theatre program for adults with autism and other disabilities. The program runs 10:30 am - 3:30 pm Monday through Friday. Company members receive professional theatre training and are preparing material for upcoming lunch hour theatre performances.

The company is actively seeking new members. Requirements are a passion for performing and a commitment of at least two days per week. Contact your Summit DD SSA and/or call Wendy at 234-678-7830 to arrange a tour.

Our first major event will be at the Kent State University Creativity Festival on Saturday, September 30 from 11 am to 5 pm. We will be hosting an interactive and inclusive improv tent! Hope to see you there!

Upcoming Events

Meet NASCAR Junior Driver at our Open House!

On August 26th, CADA will hold its final Summer Drop-In Class AND -- we will be co-hosting an event with Ardmore and House of the Lord from 1 - 4 PM. Armani Williams, an African American driver on the NASCAR youth circuit will be visiting us to show off his race car and to advocate for autism. Mr Williams is on the autism spectrum! Please contact us if you can be there to help with this event.
Learn more about Armani Williams!

Improv Nite!

Our monthly improv nights continue with our second Improv Nite on August 26 from 7 - 9 pm.

We are working to reach out to our new community. Our dream is to have participants who are as diverse as our neighborhood!

With that in mind, we have decided to not have a set ticket price for this event, but will have our tip jar out and we are selling concessions. The next one is the same day as the NASCAR event. We will be passing out invitations all afternoon!

Behind the Mask - September 9 & 10

Featuring members of our Theatre on the Spectrum youth company. Only two performances: Saturday, Sept 9th at 7 pm and Sunday, September 10th at 1 PM. Seating is very limited in our Blue Box Theatre at 1501 S Hawkins Ave.

We are seeking sponsors for this production. A sponsorship will help support our company and you will receive two tickets and your name in the program! Call 234-678-7830 for reservations.
