15 Years of Celebrating People with Physical Disabilities in Theatre

Acting Without Boundaries (AWB) is celebrating fifteen years of bringing theatrical opportunities to people with physical disabilities.

Since the inception in 2004, AWB has come so far, from a theatre workshop for four days at Saint Joseph’s University to now a year round program. The numbers of actors have increased over the years from eleven to now over forty.

Our programs have grown as well throughout the year. AWB is a year round program and we have three divisions. AWB Jr. for children ages four through teens, AWB SR. for teens and up, and our newest program AWB Acting Lab and Masters’ Program for adults. We put on three major productions a year and have an intensive four day summer workshop with a performance. AWB performs for schools and community events, for the past two years we have perform for Philly Theatre Week.

Every year AWB has its major fundraiser called the AWB Hero Award. The Hero Award is given to an individual who has made a significant difference in the community and who happens to have a physical disability.

Sunday, October 13 at 4:00 pm is the AWB Sr. performance of Peter and the Starcatcher in Centennial Hall at The Haverford School. All are welcome.
