Mission Statement
We believe everyone is A.B.L.E. to connect, to contribute, and to create. We are Artists Breaking Limits & Expectations. Our mission is to provide performing arts opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to share who they are and all they are A.B.L.E. to do. By placing disability in the spotlight, A.B.L.E. aims to build more inclusive, empathetic communities.
