Case Studies
Leah and Lucy
Initially reluctant to speak and wanting to remain together in every activity, they developed into highly independent participants. They now volunteer for tasks, arrive early to help set up, cover lines for others, and have joined committees and forum groups.
Nigel
A profoundly autistic member who wrote ‘The Return of Jafar’ during lockdown. Through the production process he coped with significant changes, became involved in set and costume work, supported others with lines, and inspired peers to begin writing their own plays.
Alysha
An Orpheus Centre student transitioning into Prospero. Initially dependent on carrying a large Mickey Mouse toy, she was supported through creative solutions and successfully integrated into productions and activities.
Carol
After Prospero won the Caterham Carnival procession, Carol asked for a photograph with the Mayor because it was the first time she had ever won anything, illustrating the impact of recognition and achievement.
