MARC Actors

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities participate in acting classes weekly and create original plays to share with the wider MARC and Middletown community.  This on-going program between Oddfellows Playhouse and MARC has led to participants gains in communication, confidence and a stronger community. 

This program can be adapted for other organizations that serve a similar population.  Contact dic@oddfellows.org with inquiries.
