GiGi's Playhouse Rockford proudly presents our
2025 "i have a voice" Gala!
This year, as we highlight our Amina Grace Speech and Language Program, we are on a "Mission" to help every individual with Down syndrome find their own voice!
With our very special guests, The Improvaneers, the world's first improvisational troupe!
Rob Snow, Creator of the Improvaneer Method and Director of the Improvaneers, explains their performance this way:
"When you get the chance to see an Improvaneer performance, beyond the hilariously amazing things happening on stage, there are three things to watch out for. First, watch the pride and hope on the faces of the parents and caregivers of those with developmental disabilities. Second, watch those with developmental disabilities in the audience as they begin to realize their own limitless potentials, and finally, watch those who don't fall into those first two categories, as they grapple with a perception being changed drastically before their eyes. That's the true magic of these performances."
