Jelly Educational Theater - Wheelchair Dancer
For four years the award winning Jelly Educational Theater produced original plays for children in the Triangle area of North Carolina. Each play was intended to empower young children by examining social and emotional issues that confront them, and each play was intended to be a LOT OF FUN! One of the Jelly plays was "Wheelchair Dancer." Young Amy Holloway has been dancing as long as she can remember, and she does not believe that using a wheelchair as a result of a spinal injury should stop her. Neither does her dog Buddy. The beautiful, inspiring "Wheelchair Dancer," performed by the Jelly Educational Theater with three cast members in their own wheelchairs, explores the concept of "disability" and the pursuit of dreams. It was selected as one of the ten best plays produced in the area during 1999 by the Chapel Hill Newspaper, and was enacted in Athens, Greece, in celebration of the Paralympics from October 2004 - February 2005. Script and lyrics by Sarah Froeber. http://sarahfroeber.com. Music by Mike Hamer. http://mikehamer.com. Amy is played by Julia Leggett and Buddy is played by Jef.
