About Harmony Theater
THE HARMONY PROGRAM
Harmony Theater is a creative performance environment for adults with disabilities that live in the 5-county southeastern region of PA. Harmony participants experience creative stimulation, encouragement to imagine, and education in theater arts. In an environment of respect and support, they build friendships, engage in healthy activities, develop life skills, experience successes, and simply have fun!
This unique theater program produces two yearly events including a fall concert and a spring musical. Harmony's weekly program promotes positive physical, emotional, behavioral, and intellectual well-being for all participants, including our staff and theater assistants!
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Our actors and directors work together to reach out to create meaningful connections with individuals and community organizations in our area. In 2024, Harmony Theater was a proud sponsor of the Special Olympics Track and Field Day, hosted by Hatboro-Horsham High School.
Harmony actors and staff regularly get together outside of rehearsal to socialize and have fun. Most recently, Harmony actors and staff attended a Phillies game! We go to community events, see professional plays and musicals in Philadelphia and NYC, attend sports games, and support the community however we can.
PERFORMANCES
Harmony Theater actors work through the fall semester learning a program of concert music and choreography to perform at our fall concert. This 2-day event is typically held in November and is the culmination of three months of rehearsal and learning. This time is used to prepare for the concert, but also to build relationships, learn technique, and assess our company to begin considering roles for the musical.
The spring musical is typically held in May and is the culmination of 5 months of preparation in staging, singing, dance, and acting. Our participants are cast in a variety of roles to showcase their talents. Our goal as a staff is that everyone feels like a star when they step on stage! The 3-day event includes all the excitement of Broadway with costumes, props, makeup & hair, and sell out audiences!
