FREE Players
The FREE Players is implemented under the direct supervision of Jim Sisto, Artistic Director of Day Habilitation of Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc. (FREE). Rehearsals for the shows begin with four hours per week, expanding to over eight hours per week until the show is ready. The popularity of our shows required us to seek a larger theatre space, so we are now using the Commack Jewish Center & Theater Three in Port Jefferson, NY. Sets, costumes, lighting and sound equipment are provided by donations and many community and family members volunteer their time to make the costumes and sets, working along side our employees and consumers.
