Mission Statement
No Limits was founded in 1996 by Michelle Christie, Ed.D, a teacher for the deaf with over 18 years experience in the entertainment industry. Dr. Christie realized there were no programs for deaf children to improve their speaking abilities in a theatrical setting, so she designed a language-enriched theater program to help children develop communication and social skills. To date, No Limits has produced over 85 theatrical productions across the country, entertaining and educating over 150,000 people nationwide. In 2002, No Limits expanded its program to provide speech and language training year-round. The No Limits Educational Center offers individual therapy, literacy, parent education, family support, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), arts enrichment, and a Leadership and Mentoring Academy for teens. In 2013, No Limits opened an additional after-school center in Las Vegas, pioneering the expansion of its services to reach more communities and more children and families across the nation. Every year, the No Limits Educational Centers serve over 250 children with a hearing loss and their families. The population consists of low-income, underserved families, mainly of Latino descent.
