A: No, this truly is a group aimed at bringing people with and without disabilities together.

A: Yes; in fact, our group prides itself on being many people’s first exposure to continuing education, service, and acting.

A: Generally, our plays have been intellectually-oriented rather than being “crowd-pleasers”. Many people with disabilities have had opportunities in elementary school or high school to be involved in plays, but often people with disabilities have not been invited to participate in more cognitively- challenging plays by authors like Ionesco, Wilder, and Ibsen. We want to expose people with disabilities to something they have not done before.
We typically perform one musical each year. Past musical selections have included Godspell, Footloose, Quixote, It’s A Wonderful Life, and The Hobbit..

If you are a musician, arranger, or choreographer, and would like to help us produce our yearly musical, please contact us via email at marjoriebook1993@gmail.com, or give us a call at (513) 328-6300.

A:  People with physical, mental and emotional disabilities have all been involved in our group.

A: We always ask that participants first check to see if they are eligible to use Metro ACCESS, the local paratransit system. However, if someone is really interested in joining the group, and does not have transportation, then we will make every effort to assist with transportation. We have some wonderful participants who have big hearts when it comes to driving other participants, to and from rehearsal!

A: Marjorie Book Continuing Education has an annual membership fee of $70. For the general public, admission to our plays is $10, or pay what you can.. We cheerfully accept donations of any amount, and all donations are tax-deductible. We will not turn anyone away due to inability to pay, although we would like to brainstorm problem solving ideas with those that may be experiencing financial difficulties. Visitors and short-term volunteers are welcome anytime and do not need to pay a membership fee, although we may ask you to complete a membership application.

A: Scores of generous donors give time and money to Marjorie Book Continuing Education each year.
