Mobile Theater Company Set to Perform in Canton

The 4th Wall Theater Company, a "mobile company" that brings theater programs to special needs children and individuals in schools and therapy centers throughout the Metro Detroit area, will present a special free performance on Wednesday, from 5 to 5:15 p.m. at the Cherry Hill Schoolhouse, located at 50440
Cherry Hill Road in Canton, MI 48187.

Students from Canton Leisure Services Therapeutic Recreation program, who have worked together singing, acting and dancing for six sessions, will shine on stage performing an original production created from theater games and activities that encourage and strengthen life skills, such as eye contact and etiquette.

During these sessions, individuals with all special needs are given the opportunity to write their own plays, pick their characters and then perform their own shows, all while being introduced to theater protocol, stage terms and acting techniques.


"Fourth wall" is a theater term that means the separation of the audience from the stage and this group aims to "break the fourth wall" encouraging students with special needs of all ages and abilities to participate in a collaborative environment on stage.

An afterglow party with light refreshments will also be held after the show in the one-room Cherry Hill Schoolhouse, where the performance is scheduled to take place.  Don't miss this great opportunity to witness and applaud the culmination of a 6-week Canton Leisure Services Therapeutic Recreation program, where these hard-working students will get a chance to blossom on stage.
