Adults with intellectual disabilities tell an old story Stone Soup Remixed

Hart School, a non-profit, charitable organization helping adults with special needs reach their highest potential through the arts and education, presents Stone Soup Remixed Wednesday, April 13 at Duncan McArthur Hall.

The new musical play is a retelling of the old folk tale but with some brand new ingredients including song, dance, movement, art, drama, and the points of view of adults with intellectual disabilities.

The play itself is really a behind-the-scenes look at our students getting ready to put on a play, said Katherine Porter, Executive Director of Hart School. They want to bring all their talents and gifts to the telling of it. And, just as if you added new ingredients to an old recipe, the play takes on a new flavour.

Stone Soup Remixed, directed by Kathryn McKay of the Thousand Islands Playhouse, is the creative culmination of a semester of learning about healthy eating, healthy activity and healthy choices.

Music is performed by Hart students in collaboration with composer David Archibald, with well-known Kingston musician, Jenica Rayne also performing.
