We believe everyone should have a chance to shine on stage!
My Time to Shine started in 2014 as a Biz Theatre program (Avon, IN), dedicated to performers with special needs. In 2020, the My Time to Shine program switched to its own 501c3 non-profit organization. Their goal is to provide inclusiveness on stage with a commitment to their belief that “theatre is for everyone” and everyone deserves a chance to SHINE.
Their major production is performing a musical each summer. Rehearsals begin in June and go until mid-August every year. Performers are paired with an experienced mentor that participates in the rehearsal process and performs with them at their side.
My Time to Shine offers workshops in the fall and spring. These workshops offer opportunities for performers to fine-tune their skills by learning more about acting, auditioning, character development, scene studies, and storytelling to name a few.
Our mission is to provide opportunities in the musical theatre arts for people of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
