NSP's Next Production will be in May at the Hogan Regional Auditorium in Danvers, MA
The North Shore Players, a Danvers community theater, invites you to three hours of classic American drama as they proudly present The Skin of Our Teeth. The play, by Thornton Wilder (Our Town) won the Pulitzer Prize in 1943.
Wilder chronicles the 5,000-year marriage of George and Maggie Antrobus of Excelsior, N.J. as they endure the Ice Age, floods, wars and two difficult children. No wonder the show runs three hours!
Hogan Regional Auditorium, 450 Maple St., Danvers.
Curtain is at 7 p.m., May 2 and May 3
and 2 p.m. on May 4.

Arts for All: The Vital Role of Performing Arts and the Inclusion of People with Disabilities
The performing arts, encompassing disciplines such as theater, dance, music, and more, play a pivotal role in cultural expression and social cohesion. They serve as a mirror reflecting societal values, challenges, and triumphs, providing a platform for storytelling and creative exploration that transcends language barriers. Participation in the performing arts fosters empathy, creativity, and critical thinking, while also offering therapeutic benefits, enhancing mental health and emotional well-being. Through engagement in these artistic endeavors, individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their communities, contributing to a more vibrant, inclusive society.
Inclusion of people with disabilities in the performing arts is crucial for ensuring that this vibrant cultural dialogue reflects the true diversity of human experiences. By integrating performers with disabilities, the arts become a powerful vehicle for challenging stereotypes and promoting understanding. These performers bring unique perspectives and talents that enrich artistic productions, making them more authentic and resonant. Moreover, accessible and inclusive performances can inspire and educate audiences, fostering a greater appreciation for the abilities and potential of all individuals, regardless of physical or cognitive differences.
Active participation of people with disabilities in the performing arts also empowers these individuals, providing them with opportunities for personal and professional growth. Engaging in artistic activities can enhance self-esteem, improve social skills, and provide a sense of accomplishment and belonging. For many, the arts offer a pathway to professional careers, challenging the underrepresentation of disabled individuals in the cultural sector. By championing inclusivity in the performing arts, we not only enrich our cultural landscape but also take significant steps towards a more equitable society where everyone’s talents and voices are recognized and valued.
