Overbrook School for the Blind
Overbrook School for the Blind (OSB) prepares its students—all of whom are blind, visually impaired or living with other challenges—to have the greatest opportunity to experience active and fulfilling lives. At OSB, teams of highly-qualified teachers and specialists work seamlessly to create a caring, can-do environment. Each and every day, its historic 26 acre campus in the Overbrook Farms section of West Philadelphia is bustling with activity as its students work, play, and in some cases, live in an extraordinary set of integrated buildings that have been adapted to meet the multiple needs of its students.
Pennsylvania Ballet II
Pennsylvania Ballet II is a program for young dancers who are just beginning their professional careers. The “second company” dancers receive intensive daily instruction and fine-tuning from the Pennsylvania Ballet artistic staff, and rehearse and perform with the main company for all of Pennsylvania Ballet's larger productions.
Pennsylvania Ballet II also complements Pennsylvania Ballet’s existing outreach and education program, Community Engagement. Initiated in February 2002 through the generosity of founding donors Joyce and Herbert Kean, the program enables Pennsylvania Ballet to greatly expand the scope and depth of its outreach effort through theater and non-theater-based performances at Philadelphia-area schools and other small venues.
