Micaela Connery was inspired to start the program as a club in her Connecticut high school by her cousin who was born with multiple disabilities. She says, “I remember getting to High School and I saw NO kids with disabilities in my classroom. So in Unified Theater we pull in ALL kids from EVERY walk of life. We give them a place to belong where they’re going to become empowered and supported.”

Michaela says she looks at the Unified Theater groups (now in over 30 schools across the country) and sees "nothing but hope, and nothing but amazing young people who are rock their world."
