Members of YouthAbility discovered that through their struggles and successes -- they had a lot in common.  They wrote and created a play exploring their life challenges and paths to successes.   Their struggles included:  surviving brain cancer, living in a wheelchair, visual impairment, sexual abuse, physical limitations, Down syndrome, autism, social struggles, academic struggles and other challenges.   In their play -- they addresses this challenges head on -- and spoke about how to over come them.   The goal of the play was to inspire others to deal with their own challenges.  They performed at many locations for underserved populations -- we brought the play to them.   In all, more than 500 people saw the play.
