Artists still needed! We are looking for four more adult artists with a passion for singing, dancing and acting! Contact us with any questions.

Adventures in Social Development proudly announces our first musical theater troupe this fall for artists who are 21+. This musical is a “next step” in building independence. Our artists will have college age/adult peer mentors to support on and off stage and will not necessarily have a 1:1 partner.

Rehearsals are expected to start at the end of August with performances December 10–13.

We are looking for 15 artists with the potential for an additional 5 in ensemble roles.

Please let us know if you are interested or need more information. Contact the program coordinator, Annie Mielke, at 515-306-0030 (or text) or [email protected]
