yesterday, i had the honor of photographing the kids from the los angeles no limits deaf/hard of hearing theatre group. no limits was started with one person's (michelle christie-adams) dream... her dream to help deaf/hard of hearing kids enhance their confidence through theatrical arts and individual therapy, while also raising community awareness.

no limits is having a huge fundraising gala on june 2nd and the los angeles kids will be doing a 15 minute skit at the gala. i photographed the kids for the playbill. every year the gala gets bigger and bigger and this year, Extra, Entertainment Tonight, People and Life and Style will be covering it. i'm so happy for these kids and michelle.

i got hooked up with no limits, in 2005, when we first arrived in san diego and heard about the theatre group from another parent. kiele has been participating with the san diego group ever since. it is the most magical thing to watch these kids act. many of these parents were told that their child would never speak and now...they're not only speaking, they are acting. at the end of each performance, the kids stand in a line, state what they would like to be when they grow up and yell "i can do it!". truly, with today's technology and the support of groups, such as no limits, these kids *can* do anything they dream of. this year, the no limits san diego performance (it begins with a dream) will be august 18th at 4 pm. i will be selling tickets a couple weeks prior to the play. hope to see you there!

yesterday was good for my soul...through and through!

the photo is one of the no limits kids!
