Play with Grace

A Nonprofit Expressive Drama Program with Original Music

for Specially-abled Adults

Our Services

Established fine artist and therapist Carmelina Mosher, MA, LPC developed a unique Expressive Drama program that for over 25 years now, has engaged wide and diverse participation throughout the state of Connecticut.

Due to a widespread interest in having this and other expressive arts programs available to those with special needs (Downs Syndrome, Autism Spectrum, etc.), Carmelina formed the Play with Grace Musical Theatre program, which serves this community of extraordinary people, some of whom are nonverbal.

Play with Grace offers two terms:

"Songs of Life" in the Spring

"Taking Flight" in the Fall

This innovative expressive drama and music program provides participants a unique opportunity to discover new interests and talents, and to build on talents, skills and self-confidence.

Our mentor and participant partnerships encourage individuals to learn from and support one another in their personal and collective goals.
