About

The National Theater Program includes an after-school theater program, theater arts, role-playing, and graduations, along with a teen program and a Leadership and Mentoring Academy for teens. Children and teens in the program take part in activities such as academic tutoring, literacy, STEM, arts enrichment, and cultivating creativity. The program also offers individual therapy, parent education, audiological services, and opportunities to develop public speaking skills, and it extends beyond theatrical arts to provide auditory, speech, and language training year-round through services for low-income school-age deaf children and their families, as well as No Limits Pop-Ups, No Limits TV, and remote programs “Wherever you are.”

• Ages: 5–18 years old

No Limits was founded in 1996 and later expanded to become a national program that has produced over 100 original shows in 13 states, with over 200,000 audience members seeing the children’s performances. The National Theater Program has had the distinction of being the first time deaf children who speak performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and its hit production Silent NO MORE recently appeared at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The program is led by Dr. Michelle Christie, Ed.D., Founder and Executive Director of No Limits for deaf children. No Limits is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture, and its website is powered by the accessiBe widget to customize the browsing experience to meet accessibility needs. Testimonials from public figures and parents, including Lily Tomlin, Tony Robbins, Suze Orman, Brad Garrett, and parents Eric and Shira, describe their support for No Limits and their experiences with the theater group and performances such as Silent NO MORE.
