SRO P.L.U.S. Theater Program

SRO P.L.U.S. is a community theater program created by Standing Room Only Theater Company, (aka “SRO”), in partnership with In Flight Inc. targeted to offering theater experiences geared for people with disabilities in our local area, but open to all. 

All participants who register will be cast in role(s) in this fun musical! We work with everyone in the cast of all abilities to help them be the best they can be in this performance.

Rehearsal time gives actors enough time to work on skills as well as work on the production as a whole. Rehearsals are Monday evenings from 6:00pm-7:30pm at our studio. (Additional day potentially added according to interest.)

Rehearsals typically start at the end of September and run through May / June. The full schedule will be provided during the first class.

The first two rehearsals help new participants get acquainted, work on some theatre skills and games, and go over the auditioning process.

Everyone who registers/auditions will be cast! (So many fun roles!)

Mandatory dress rehearsals will be held the week prior to the production. We call this time “tech week”. This is a very important time for performers as they will be in full costume, have mic packs on, and get used to being on the stage.

Classes are held at the SRO studio in The Freedom Business Center - 1097 State Rte 55, Lagrangeville, NY 12540 (The plaza next to McDonald's near Arlington High School)

The directors provide general guidance and oversight. For those enrolled in the In Flight Respite services, there will be a Respite DSP present for support for that group. We only ask that people who attend fit in a minimum of 1:5 staffing ratio for supervision. Rehearsals are closed to parents, family, and staff. If you have a situation where you are required to stay to support someone, please discuss that with us prior to registration as space is limited for extra people. We may not be able to accommodate additional support staff.

At this time there is not transportation provided and this class is drop off and pick up only.

The cost is $595 for the full production, including all rehearsals through the show in June. Tuition can be paid in monthly installments. The theater program accepts PayPal, Venmo, cash, or check for tuition. If you are going through financial hardship but want to participate, please let us know. Scholarship opportunities may be available.

There are two opportunities for reduced cost. If you pay the tuition cost in full upon registration, you save $30! Total cost will be $565.

Opportunities for 50% reduced cost is available if you enroll in the In Flight, Inc. Respite program through Medicaid Waiver. Total reduced cost is $297.50 and is due in full upon registration. If you are new to Respite you will need a “golden ticket” from In Flight to upload to registration and that will show you are eligible for reduced tuition. Existing respite members do not need a new golden ticket.

Contact: Sarah Green sgreen@inflightinc.org or Tara Pearce tpearce@inflightinc.org and your care manager for more information about respite! We need to get paperwork in process immediately to be ready in time for this season.

Yes! We welcome anyone who is interested! The Medicaid Waiver partnership allows us to offer staffing oversight and reduce tuition for those who enroll, but anyone is welcome to join the program and attend classes! We can provide a receipt for tuition if you would like to try to submit it for community class reimbursement for Self-Direction.

Yes! All are welcome. Those who do not have respite authorization will simply pay full tuition this session and will not have the agency staffing oversight. You can still enroll now for respite and then have the opportunity for reduced tuition at all future sessions if enrolled!

If applying for Waiver Respite, first contact Tara Pearce at tpearce@inflightinc.org or Sarah Green at sgreen@inflightinc.org and your care manager ASAP to get paperwork moving quickly! Otherwise, if already enrolled in waiver respite from previous sessions or registering as a regular member, you would fill out the google form for Standing Room Only to register for their SRO PLUS program.
