Handful Players
Invite reviews
I have been involved with Handful Players as a volunteer, helping photograph the young actors and musicians that have passed through this wonderful program. But it wasn't until I saw the packed house at Yoshi's that I truly understood how valuable Handful Players is to the community. Not only does the program take young kids off the street and on to the stage, but its an event and a cause the entire community can rally around and applaud.

I had a wonderful experience volunteering for Handful Players. I was asked to supervise the editing of a video that provides an overview of what Handful Players does for kids. The video, which is now hosted on their website, is viewed by the actors, their families and friends, the community, and potential grant donors. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that my small contribution is helping spread the word about this great organization.

Handful Players has found a way to engage and energize a group of youngsters, and create much more than just entertainment. The personal growth the children make during each production is truly amazing. This experience impacts their lives in many ways, including giving them a sense of purpose, teaching them team skills, and building their confidence. The involvement of nationally recognized playwrights and musicians is a testimonial to the reputation that Handful Players has built, thanks to the vision and hard work of its founder, Judith Cohen, who has made this program her life's work.

I have attended several performances of the Handful Players. I can unequivocally state that this is a great project. It is a perfect example of the use of the arts/theater to teach self confidence, develop hidden talents, teach youngsters to get along with one another, function as a team, to work with adult supervision without confrontation, and to have a good time safely. I look forward to their next performance
