So Long, Summer!
HEART brought the heat this summer, that is for sure.
It was nonstop and we kind of still can’t believe how much we got up to. Take a look for yourself!

Turning the Big One-OH!
Beaches. Pools. Obvi…
Rehearse! Rehearse! Rehearse!
We are extremely lucky to have so many helpful resources just a hop. skip. and jump away from our Studio. We could not bring life to our shows, or our shows to the stage, without the caring kindness of our friend Hannah Miller from the City of Goose Creek Therapeutic Recreation Department. We got the run of the Rec Center as we prepared for our original musical, MonoMyth!
Fun Fact: Hannah was just awarded Employee of the Year by the City of Goose Creek. A clear choice, we think. Congratulations, Hannah!
To the Great Unknown
The Park Circle Gallery selected HEART to be the sole exhibition in its space throughout August this year. The tactile and interactive work was created both collaboratively and individually by the HEARTists. Viewers were invited to happily raise a toast to those big unknowns in life. We can’t possibly map the ocean, or know the whole galaxy. We can’t even know what life has in store for us in this next minute. But, isn’t that what keeps us going?

Disability Pride
For the past 4 years, HEART has been organizing Disability Pride events and celebrations all over the Lowcountry - along with all our friends in the community. July 2024 was BUSY in the best way possible!

Disability Pride Finale Celebration
It might have been a little rainy, but that didn’t dampen our PRIDE! All we need for a good time is great people, the Porter Room, and lots of Disability Pride.

Fate and great timing led us to meet the wonderfully talented Samuel Vogel. A professional photographer newly moved to Charleston, it was our honor to have Samuel photograph the Cult Classic and Finale Celebration events for us.
Start Spreadin’ The News!
Disability Pride has been a part of the Disability community in the U.S. since 1990. Yeah! That’s a long time… Since our first celebration in the Lowcountry in 2021, we’ve seen the awareness and excitement around Disability Pride fomenting and spreading amongst our fellow Charlestonians. Now, the idea that celebrating the Disabled Identity is a great thing has really taken hold of the zeitgeist.
