Play's the Thing

Play's the Thing is an innovative program in Austin, TX that provides children with chronic illnesses the opportunity to explore Shakespeare through play, improvisation, and group performances. Founded by Dr. Craig Hurwitz and Doc Ayres, the program encourages creativity, teamwork, and social skills while creating a supportive community among its participants.

Each session begins with song and movement, followed by improvisational games and scene performances from Shakespeare's works. The program not only nurtures artistic expression but also fosters positive relationships among the young players as they engage in fun and enriching experiences, ultimately helping them find joy and connection in their lives despite the challenges they face.
