This week we are joined by the
Program Director of Backlight Productions, Jordan Scott. Jordan has
been with Backlight for 5 years, starting first as a teacher and
then growing into her current position as her passion for Backlight
and its mission has grown. Matt Morre, John Lynch, and Staci Davis
gather with Jordan to learn about Backlight Productions and what
the nonprofit strives to do for the community. As a seasoned
performer with Backlight Productions, Matt shares his love for
Backlight Productions and his experience in various roles. As a
nonprofit passionate about the arts, their mission is to "Providing
opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities to gain education in the arts and perform significant
roles in integrated performances, enabling them to enhance their
social skills through artistic expression and grow in confidence
both on and off the stage."
Jordan also shares Backlight's newest venture, Backlight Kids.
Offering classes for 11 and under, Backlight will be giving kids
with IDD the opportunity to be introduced to performing arts. The
group discusses everything from Backlight Productions to upcoming
events for both Backlight Productions and Waves. Matt shares with
the group what he'll be singing at the Brews & Grooves event on
Sept. 19th, while Johnny Sunshine takes the conversation to the
wildest animals in a safari. Listen to full episode and find out
which animals Johnny thinks the group doesn't stand a chance
against.
