ard Kamler stated, "Art is one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible." Theatre eXceptional produces two plays every year raising awareness and eliminating the stigma so often placed on disability & mental illness. Porch Stories brings local actors, musicians, and performers to homes transformed into performance venues in the Tampa Bay area where they are welcomed with open arms by creative individuals for performances and social gatherings, with proceeds going directly to the performers. 4x6Fest is a brand new 24-hour play festival that premiered in Tampa, Fl in June of 2015 and has become an annual event that, along with many other projects, will continue to develop and form collaborations with the entire Tampa Bay Theatre community.
