For our in-person programming, he has taken part in Social Skills and Self-Advocacy for Adults, Quarterly Dances, Fantastic Friends, Drama Troupe\/Theater, EPIC, and Music\/Choir just to name a few. Once GiGi\u2019s started offering national and local virtual programs, Ian jumped in to get involved with these local virtual programs too: Fantastic Friends, Social Skills and Self-Advocacy for Adults, Drama Troupe for Adults, and GiGiFIT Adults. All these opportunities over the past four years, both in-person and virtual programs, have given Ian many chances to interact with other adults, while also learning new skills through our FREE, progressive, educational, and therapeutic programming.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Ian\u2019s family shared a video of him performing for Drama Troupe Adults which is now on our YouTube channel: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yb2Sp9GEsEs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can see the full performance of, \u201cAnnie\u201d, this fall from our YouTube channel: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2NEwiw8RU5Y&amp;t=8s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ian\u2019s also been featured on our YouTube channel as Flash: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZaYWLfo1goU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are honored to have Ian and his wonderful family, including Deb and Mark, be part of our GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Twin Cities community. Thank you all for taking full advantage of all the programming opportunities available through GiGi\u2019s over the past few years.
