Challenged Actors Get a Helping Hand with PerformanceROCHESTER, NY (November 2, 2006) – Moving and putting up sets for a local play as well as working the parking lots for the drama are acts of justice, says Brian Haak, pastor of Artisan Covenant Church. The play is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and it is being performed by Actors Unlimited, a local company whose actors are all people with special needs. Most of the actors have mental handicaps and many have physical disabilities as well, Haak says. The pastor says helping the group is an act of justice because it gives the actors an opportunity to perform. “Compassion is putting on the show for them,” he explains. “Justice is them getting to be the actors and do the drama and be a blessing.” “It’s a part of society that’s often told you’re not good enough or talented enough,” Haak says. He adds, however, that the actors are quite talented. “They’re pretty amazing actors, phenomenal actors.” The local group has been performing five years and has put on productions that also have included Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, and Beauty and the Beast. The play will be performed November 10-18 at The German House, a local theatre and dinner house, where the church plant congregation also meets for worship.
