SEASPAR Participants Take Center Stage During Holiday Spectacular

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Participants from SEASPAR took center stage on Dec. 12 for the organization's 16th Annual Holiday Spectacular, which was held at Lemont High School's Performing Arts Center.

The event showcased performers who take part in the Actors Guild, Glee Club and music or vocal lessons at SEASPAR. A rendition of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" by Bryal Peterson and piano performances from Aria Larrea and Mick Walsh were just part of the festivities.

“The Holiday Spectacular is one of my favorite nights of the year," SEASPAR Executive Director Matthew Corso said in a news release.

Corso added, “It’s incredible to see our participants’ skills on display – not only in terms of their performance, but also in terms of their social development. Getting on stage is no easy task for anyone, and there may be some nerves backstage, but our participants never fail to transform into fearless performers."

Founded in 1976, SEASPAR (South East Association of Special Parks and Recreation) offers recreational opportunities for area residents with disabilities.
