Students with disabilities deserve the right to experience the fun arts and musical aspects of education. Many students do not know that these experiences exist right near their hometown in NYC and I want them to be exposed to the art, music, and comedy aspect of education while visiting a historical city landmark! In a society where poverty holds children back from achieving their full creative potential, I believe it is important to open their minds to the depth of interaction they can have through the Music, Comedy and the Arts. I hope you can help students at our school visit and experience the Blue Man Group Show this coming June. The students will attend a one hour show during this trip. Thank you so much!
