you bring the story to life
We believe everyone is A.B.L.E. to connect, to contribute, to create.
That includes you!
A.B.L.E.’s ensembles - comprised of 38 actors with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities - created a series of 8 interactive video stories.
As they narrate each tale, the ensemble will invite you to play with different objects from your home or to act out sights, sounds, and characters so we can bring these stories to life together.
If you’re like us, you’ve been spending a lot of time in front of the computer lately. We invite you to get up, get moving, and get creative with the A.B.L.E. ensembles.
Don’t just watch the story, be a part of it!
Stories
Anthology features 8 original stories devised by A.B.L.E.’s ensembles. The characters and plots are as unique as our actors! We have stories for audiences of all ages, and all the tales feature a range of interactive experiences.
Crafts
Each story has a craft project to help bring the world to life. Use recycled materials or other simple supplies to make puppets, instruments and more! Check out the activities page for video tutorials from A.B.L.E.’s teaching team.
Behind the Scenes
Every volume in the Anthology was devised by our ensembles with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities. Learn more about the the process of creating these tales and see photos and videos from rehearsals.
2020 has been a challenging year.
We hope Anthology brought a bit of fun into your home. Whether we're in person or online, we will continue to do our best to ensure everyone - including you - is A.B.L.E. to connect, to contribute, and to create.
