Project title: Music with a Message
Caroline focused on making theatrical performances and educational opportunities more accessible for individuals with special needs. She created a website featuring information on accessible/sensory-friendly theatres in New Jersey. She also created curriculum binders for the ECLC and Pillar Schools, providing resources for a strong foundational knowledge of theatre and music. Prior to the pandemic, she had planned on hosting a workshop with ECLC students that would culminate in a performance, but adapted the workshop to be virtual.
