Dionysus Theatre

I've been rehearsing with a group of people from Dionysus Theater who all have some kind of disability: A young lady is blind, another can't speak well, two boys and a girl have a type of autism, a young man with down syndrome and a women who has no arms and legs. Though, when you stop and sit still just to listen to them and watch them perform, you realize there is so much of something they have that you don't. What they do have are beautiful voices, gleaming eyes so bright with genuine curiosity, and when they laugh and smile, what they say and do just proves there's a God in heaven that loves them: it is so pure and true. And all they want in life is to share that truth so we can be just like them--albe children of God.

We are the ones who cannot see, we are the ones who cannot speak, we are the ones who have a lack of control, capability to think, and even the ability to move our hands and feet.

Tonight they're having a performance for some who are interested in learning more about the wonderful world of theatre. Tonight I pray they'll get a lot more out of it than just that. Tonight I hope we all leave with so much more--that our eyes will be open, our hearts will see, that there's a God in heaven that loves you and me.

"My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer."
