Being funny and spontaneous isn’t necessarily as easy as it looks! Backlight Productions’ students are learning all about COMEDY — teaching the fundamentals of Improv that will enable students to grow in confidence, listening and communications skills, and the ability to think on the fly!! You will get a taste of Backlight’s innovative way to create belly laughs for all at tonight’s life skills class.

Backlight Productions provides opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to gain education in the arts and perform significant roles in integrated performances, enabling them to enhance their social skills through artistic expression and grow in confidence both on and off the stage.

A “backlight” is a light used to shine on a performer from behind to keep him/her from blending into the background; it is also used to signify innocence and purity. At Backlight Productions, their aim is to keep people with disabilities from getting lost in the background in the performing arts world. They want to use the performing arts to not just entertain but to directly influence lives for the better.
