Everyone wants to go back in time to a world we once knew that was sunshine and lollipops. Even if you’ve never heard of Elvis (oh, come on!), you will be dancing in your seat!

“Twist and Shout” will spark memories of your first kiss, first dance at a Beach Boys concert, and remember those blue suede shoes! You might even see The Rolling Stones roll by!

To sum it all up…
“Twist and Shout” is FUN, FUN, FUN!

Where Special Happens

About Famous PEOPLE Players

Founded in 1974, FPP were the Pioneers who first brought Integration to the forefront of the world for people with disABILITIES.

Our founder Diane Dupuy volunteered at the Orillia Institution, and was horrified how inhumanly people were segregated and hidden from society. She believed in the principle of ‘Normalization” This is why she founded FPP, using the blacklight technique where people are dressed – head to toe in black so they were not seen. When the audience found out who the people were, they stood on their feet and applauded. They said

“BRAVO” They didn’t know that these people were capable of many wonderful things.

Famous PEOPLE Players were discovered by Liberace.

“It is not who you are that I want you to perform in “Vegas”, It is because you are SO GOOD. You deserve to share the stage with me.”
