The Production

Every year Andy performs in the Special Needs Production at the regional center in Bountiful. It is a play that is especially written for the mutual.

Andy LOVES being on stage, getting laughs and applause. Each year the leaders make an attempt to corral his enthusiasm but he usually finds a way around them. You never see the same show twice, even though the lines are the same. The kids just do their own thing.

Andy has been Elvis, a Maori warrior, and a fire dancer to name a few. This year he was one of the stripling warriors. The name of the play was the "Warriors of Light". It is really an amazing thing to see over a hundred people with special needs singing, dancing, and, above all, teaching us.

They always close the evening with singing "I am a Child of God". They always have a soloist sing the first verse then the mutual joins in on the second. The audience joins for the third verse, and then they mutual sings the fourth verse.

I am so proud of the Bear and so very glad he is a member of our family.
