For Good Performance Troupe
Now in our second decade, the For Good Performance Troupe is our shining star! This vital platform offers the opportunity for persons with Down syndrome to participate in musical theater and performance activities while giving the broader community the opportunity to attend the performances and celebrate with us.
The passion and skill with which director Krista Wilkinson founded the program is essential and is a large part of the program’s longevity and vitality. By her side, Assistant Director Rocky Landers brings equal passion and steadfast commitment to the program year after year. In Fall of 2022, the Troupe was thrilled to welcome Michele Dunleavy, who brings a wealth of dance and theatre experience, providing us with additional choreography ideas. Our For Good Performance Troupe cultivates speech skills, independence, empowerment, and cognitive development. The instruction and coaching offer an unmatched experience for the participants. Our Troupe members have gained tremendous experience with the stage, and their confidence and comfort in performing is inspiring. When we have a demand, we run the "For Good Beginnings" unit dedicated to younger troupe members (under the age of 13). Fall 2024 Program - New Members Welcome!The For Good Troupe welcomes new members from the CRDSS community each season. The Fall Season begins on September 7th. Rehearsals are held each Saturday at the Delta Program High School in State College from 11am - noon. For more information and to sign up contact Director Krista Wilkinson here.
