Jesters
The Jesters at USF offer a summer performing arts program for individuals with disabilities. The six-week summer program includes dance/movement, stories, theatre, percussion, and music. Participants may have an active role in the performance if they choose, but it is not required. The summer program is available to anyone with a disability, regardless of his or her involvement with the traditional Jesters program.
Contact SOCA School Coordinator Molly McGowan or 260-399-7700 ext. 8001 or Jesters Director Allison Ballard for details.
