“We selected our 2022 theme ‘Night of Theater’ because it is so important to recognize the mutual threads that unify us and illustrate the common bonds we all share. Music, theater, and comedy are vehicles that express these shared bonds, and we hope that everyone watching will relate to our theme and be inspired as well,” says Michael Kramer, CEO of The Corporate Source. “This year marks our 26th anniversary committed to changing lives for people with varying abilities so that they can achieve greater independence and fulfillment within the world of work.”
Ruth-Ann Hartney, TCS Development & Engagement Manager observes how the entertainment industry has been progressively inclusive of people with disabilities both on stage and behind the scenes. “All of this contributes to a positive perception and image for people with disabilities.”
Event proceeds benefit the mission of TCS to create more employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
