Practice:​ ARC Walton County developed a theatre group named, No Limits. No Limits directs, writes, and performs theatre productions in  Okaloosa and Walton County.  No Limits has performers with and without disabilities and is completely inclusive. No Limits offers membership to all community members.

Their recent production  at Fort Walton Beach Civic Center, “We were soldiers too – voices from the home front” featured stories about life and love from surviving spouses of retired military heroes  residing at Air Force Enlisted Village communities in Okaloosa County.   This fundraiser event benefited both the ARC Walton County and the Air Force Enlisted Village.

Who Benefits? How? ​​The entire community benefits from the integration.

How could others apply this in practice? ​​Performing arts can be used to enhance entertainment and education for all members of any community.
