The Western Academy of Theater and Television for children and the Handicapped, (WATTCH), does our editing, puts on live plays, Public Service Announcements and made-for-TV movies.

CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES:

 

·                    WATTCH has a strong commitment to develop youth assets.

·                    We commit to develop our disabled members to the fullest of their potential.

·                    Seniors are welcome and appreciated for their talent and mentorship.

·                    We freely share our talent and experience with all members, on and off stage.

·                    All members have a commitment to the community in general and the overall organization in particular.

·                    Youth are first, they are the main reason we exist.

·                    The more troubled the child, the stronger the commitment.

·                    Everyone who auditions gets a part.

·                    WATTCH demonstrates that community theater is not elitist.

 

We will not be remembered for the show that we presented but what impact we had on a member.

 WATTCH has had cast members as young as five and as old as seventy-five.  Disabilities represented in our cast include: deafness, blindness, wheelchair bound and amputee.

Any child with a desire to be in a play is always accepted, even if the script needs adaptation.
