Cystinosis and Me: Speak Up, Speak Out!

Since July 2023, Unscripted has partnered with Believe, Ltd at Speak Up, Speak Out: Cystinosis and Me as part of the Cystinosis Research Network Family Conference each summer.

We improvise with youth ages 13-22 living with Cystinosis, in order to help grow their confidence, feel more comfortable performing, and have a joyful, creative, good time!

Participants used the creative connections built in improv to lead right into developing their own spoken word poetry.

Backlight Comedy Club

In Fall 2023, we had the pleasure to partner with Backlight Productions to teach improv for their Comedy Club students. Backlight Productions provides opportunities for adults with 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.
