This is Molly Smithson’s second year in Playing For Others. She is a junior at Myers Park High School. Being involved in theatre since 6th grade, she heard about PFO from a friend two years ago and immediately applied because she loved the idea of an all-inclusive organization proactively working hand in hand with theatre and the arts to help kids with disabilities. She felt right at home the moment she walked into the PFO retreat where everyone greeted her warmly and gave her a hug. She had a blast in the music experience; performing on the egg shaker and singing along to the song Dig a Little Deeper, which the group wrote as a whole. She was also a member of the Tech Team Committee. This year she is proud to be leading the Set Committee as the chair along with Savvy Jillani and Mary Courtney Blake. Through being in Playing For Others, Molly has learned the invaluable lesson of accepting people no matter what stereotypes may be used to describe them. She is so glad to be a part of such a fantastic organization!
