Nearly one million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson's Disease. Playhouse Square is rolling out a new program to help a growing number of patients.It's important outreach because the number of cases in the U.S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million over the next five years.Last month, I circled back with the Beachwood non-profit InMotion to highlight its new collaboration with Shaker Rocks, an indoor climbing gym, to give Parkinson's patients a new way to keep moving.
In its continued mission to bring the performing arts to everyone in Northeast Ohio, Playhouse Square is now hosting classes for Parkinson's patients.'When we first floated the idea with the trustees, it was unanimous support,' said Hassall.The classes not only create much-needed community, but they help keep symptoms in check.'You can do this with drumming, singing, dance movement, a whole range of performing arts activities,' said Hassall.
