AWB, Jr. (Ages 4-11)

The AWB, Jr. program for children with physical disabilities also runs from September to October each year. The actors meet monthly for a one-hour workshop conducted by professional music educators. Participants perform on stage and receive training in acting in plays, singing, dancing and various improvisational techniques. The Actors perform their own performance in the Spring and also participate in a portion of the AWB performance in September. AWB Jr. actors also participate with the AWB actors in visits to schools and hospitals to educate and entertain the community. AWB Jr. actors are paired with AWB Mentor Actors so they can communicate more frequently and have an older actor to look up to.
