Get Ready to be INSPIRED !!

Spectrum Empowerment and the Theater Rats are PROUD to bring this amazing story to our stage.

How to Dance in Ohio is a joyful and uplifting new musical exploring the universal need to connect and the courage it takes to step out into the world.

Based on a true story, this feel-good show follows a group of Autistic young adults and their families navigating change and preparing for a spring formal dance—a rite of passage that breaks open their daily routines in Columbus, Ohio.

Each small Victory can feel gigantic !

Come and be part of this REMARKABLE Production.
