    As an actor with Down syndrome, seeing this show was so inspiring and fun. Can’t wait to see what people think of me as Arnie Grape, I think people will love it!!!

    This show was just incredible, and it makes me sad that it did not find the audience it deserved. Is it a perfect show? No, but the message behind it is what's important! I really hope this show will have a continued life outside of Broadway. Hopefully, more regional theatres will put on productions in the future.

    The most serious question to ask one self is, what happens after this life? A good desire to have is becoming more Christ like and able to leave this world a better place than you found it. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life do so before your last breath. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life, bow your head, close your eyes and from a sincere heart ask him to cleanse you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior. Each of us have a short time on this earth and these days are getting darker and darker, may you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and deny yourself and pick up the cross daily, he loves you.

    I am special-needs. I have something called kabuki syndrome, and I love doing musical theater. The theater company that Im at literally has the sweetest they accept me so much including the directors what I love about the theater company that I met is if you audition for the show you’re in the show so they do not cut people.
