After a successful event in Fort Lauderdale this summer, The Autism Theater Project is excited to show the first three episodes of its new TV show, "The Voice Inside," December 8 at the Cosford Cinema in Coral Gables. 


"The Voice Inside" is a docudrama that shares inspiring success stories of adults and teenagers with autism, highlighting their challenges and how they overcame them. The show's message is clear: "achieve anyway, no matter your circumstances." You can watch the trailer here. Right now, episodes are not available for streaming as the first season is still in production. Check FSACentral for updates on the launch dates and locations of the episodes.


The event will, once again, feature reflections from FL SAND Fellows Michelle Zeman and Patrick D’Arcy, along with FL SAND Parliamentarian Michael Lincoln-McCreight. There will also be live music and a network reception afterwards.

The Autism Theater Project, founded by Gena Sims, highlights the talents of artists with and without autism through original productions on and off-stage. Their mission is to demonstrate that everyone has a voice and can overcome challenges.

ATP creates opportunities for young adults of all abilities in various roles. They also offer drama workshops that teach empathy, social skills, and effective communication through role-play. ATP's work emphasizes empathy, resilience, and perseverance.


Self-advocates, your voice makes all the difference! Join us for an empowering evening celebrating the strength and achievements of the Autism community. Together, we’ll share stories, build connections, and honor the journey of resilience and success.
