CO/LAB Theater Group is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing Creative Opportunities without Limits And Boundaries. CO/LAB offers individuals with developmental disabilities a creative and social outlet through theater arts. We discuss what being a part of CO/LAB means to them, what they’ve learned from their fellow community members, teachers, and supporting artists, and what they hope the entertainment industry learns from seeing and experiencing their incredible work.
