We are Artists Breaking Limits & Expectations.

Our mission is to provide performing arts experiences through which individuals with Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities build the confidence and skills to share who they are and all they are A.B.L.E. to do!
By placing participants with disabilities in the spotlight, A.B.L.E.’s work strives to shift societal preconceptions about disability, and build more inclusive, empathetic communities.
