This show was based on people coming together, to play, to learn, and to celebrate their individuality. Furthermore, the audience reflected the diversity of the children in the show; there was a palpable aura of acceptance and understanding among all in attendance. There was a sense of community and support that research is consistently showing to be an integral aspect of well-being for all humans.
