The W. Ross Macdonald Project
Working with the W. Ross Macdonald School for the Blind
Prologue Performing Arts has partnered with the W. Ross Macdonald School for the Blind to explore how the arts community can support and present new and engaging performing arts initiatives for young audiences with vision loss and low vision, while also mentoring and learning from the young people throughout the creative process. Students will be leaders in defining how the arts community can further their engagement with young people with vision loss.
The Impossible is Only the Untried: a Prologue Podcast
Through this audio journal, W. Ross Project Coordinator Mandy E. MacLean is documenting the project; sharing experiences and learnings.
Student Poetry Submissions
The Prologue Team worked with the W. Ross Macdonald drama students to help create their year-end production That One Drama Class.
As part of the creation process, the students were given the writing prompt “you can’t stop me”.
They wrote beautiful pieces that were used as inspiration while writing the play and generously shared their work with us.
