Join us at the Fall 2022 Song & Spoken Word Project Share on Sunday, February 12th, 5 pm at Theater 555 in NYC.
This is the culminating show – where our brilliant Song & Spoken Word Project participants will SOAR as they share their songs written online and in person. These incredible performers will be accompanied by an all-star band led by Everett Bradley. We are overjoyed to have this unique opportunity to come together for the Song & Spoken Word Project Share in an Off-Broadway theater – and we can’t wait to see you there!
Every person who stutters has a story to tell and a voice that deserves to be heard.
At SAY, we believe the arts are for everybody. Our groundbreaking Confident Voices programming uses the arts to inspire creativity, confidence, and communication in young people who stutter. Confident Voices invites all kids and teens who stutter to work together and support each other as they explore different channels of expression and share what’s in their hearts and on their minds … with friends who understand their experiences.
SAY is committed to breaking down barriers to participation, so our Confident Voices programming is offered FREE of charge.
