Port Jefferson Play Honored by Councilwoman

The performing arts program offers people living with developmental and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to express themselves and have fun through the performing arts.

Approximately 50 Maryhaven program participants worked for weeks to design the set, learn music and dances, create costumes, and of course, act in the show!

“Our program truly defines what it means to make dreams come true,” said Angelique Anzini, Maryhaven Program Director. “To see the joy and pride on the faces of our performers who worked so hard to create and act in this play, is an inspiration.”

Riverhead Councilwoman Jodi Giglio attended a recent show, see photo, and provided proclamations of achievement to many of the actors and producers.
