BOLD-choice Theater to Perform April 7
BOLD-choice Theatre Company will perform its original play, “Romeo and Juliet’s Tragic Comedy,” on Tuesday, April 7 at 1:30 p.m. in the Commons. The performance is free and open to the public. “Romeo and Juliet’s Tragic Comedy” is based on the Shakespearean classic tale of star-crossed love. In the BOLD version of the story, the characters face the realities of discrimination, stereotyping, alienation and groupthink. As the story unfolds, the actors themselves get a chance to share the challenges they have personally encountered, as well their own hopes and wishes.
BOLD (Battling Obstacles Living with Disabilities) was created by CHOICE, unlimited, a private nonprofit agency dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities. CHOICE, unlimited’s mission is to provide quality services to adults with special needs leading them to greater self-determination and independence.
The BOLD-choice Theatre Company was developed to help more fully realize this mission. It provides a unique style of theatre performance that exposes community and student audiences to the talents of individuals with disabilities, opening new channels for dialogue and providing a venue to “talk” across barriers.
