Many wonderful moments happen both in and outside of the Playhouse, whether it\u2019s gaining new skills in tutoring, building confidence on stage with the Drama Troupe, trying new foods in the Kitchen, or working toward personal goals. Our participants continue to show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also appreciate hearing about Best of All Moments outside the Playhouse, like when a participant gets a new job or advances to the next belt in karate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With October being Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we are proud to recognize the accomplishments of our community. We celebrate every achievement, no matter how small, and we\u2019re excited to continue supporting our participants in all they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"141785\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"3 babies playing with toys and smiling for a photo.\" class=\"wp-image-141785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Open-Play-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"141787\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"An adult women in an orange shirt smiling for a photo.\" class=\"wp-image-141787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Maeve.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"141786\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Two men in blue shirts smiling and laughing at Target Field.\" class=\"wp-image-141786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/files\/2024\/11\/Softball.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help us provide free programs that are educational and therapeutic in nature to individuals with Down syndrome from birth through adulthood, their families and the community donate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/connect.clickandpledge.com\/w\/Form\/6df7a4b9-f3e3-49fe-9904-813720ef529f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To volunteer at GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Twin Cities:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/twincities\/volunteer\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recognizing Our Participants in October\u2019s Best of All For October\u2019s Best of All, we want to acknowledge the hard work of our participants.
