Totally Awesome Kids:
Theatre Program for Young People with Cognitive Disabilities

The Totally Awesome Kids Program, established in 1992, has become the cornerstone of the Delaware Theatre Company's Youth-At-Risk Program. TAK employs acting skills and the creation of a play to increase the social skills and creativity of young people with cognitive disabilities and mental retardation. The troupe meets weekly and participants create, write, rehearse and perform a play. These original plays are presented on the main stage of the Delaware Theatre Company and other community venues, including Mitchell Hall at the University of Delaware. The TAK Program serves the entire state by offering in-school workshops at the Howard T. Ennis School, a school for students with significant disabilities located in Sussex County, Delaware.
