Inclusive theater program in Queens spotlights adults with disabilities
Queens theater program gives adults with disabilities a chance to shine Queens theater program gives adults with disabilities a chance to shine Queens theater program gives adults with disabilities a chance to shine A Queens theater program is bringing big energy and even bigger heart to the stage as adults with disabilities dazzle with talent, teamwork and a whole lot of joy. QCP Players Program celebrating debut performance A red dress and a sparkly headband are all it takes to transform Queens native Tyaisha Blake-Lochard into the Roald Dahl character Veruca Salt. She's keeping her composure before the big performance of "Willy Wonka" at Queens Centers for Progress (QCP), an organization that provides resources and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. "I'm just a little nervous, but I'm hanging in there," she said. "We know that they feel like an actor in a Broadway show feels on their opening day," QCP executive director Terri Ross said. The show marks a debut for the QCP Players Program, a partnership with inclusive performing arts nonprofit AhHa!Broadway. Participants are not only performers but also set painters, stage crew and ushers. Maurice Agard, who plays the title role, looks forward to seeing his parents in the audience. "They're going to love it," he said. "They have blossomed" Over 12 weeks of rehearsals, organizers have witnessed improvements in focus, energy, creativity and collaboration. "They have blossomed. They have become more animated, and also have become more closer with working together with other people because they realize it's part of a team," adult day services director Josie Davide said. "Literally, like, between goosebumps and tears sitting here watching them. It's just heartwarming," QCP director of development Wendy Gennaro said. Davide is eager to share the group's talent and joy with audiences. "I want them to see that people with disabilities can do whatever they put their mind to," she said.

What Happens During ‘M3GAN 2.0' End Credits And How Possible Is A Sequel?
"Megan 2.0" partial poster. M3GAN 2.0 — the sequel to the 2022 horror hit M3GAN — has footage in the end credits. What happens during the end credits and does it mean anything for another sequel? M3GAN 2.0 opens in theaters nationwide on Friday. The official summary for the film reads, 'Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN's creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of AI. "Meanwhile, Gemma's niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma's overprotective rules. Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. "But as Amelia's self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original AI icon is about to meet her match.' Directed by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN 2.0 also stars Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp and Jemaine Clement. Note: Spoilers about the ending and end credits are revealed in the next section. What Footage Is Featured During The End Credits Of M3GAN 2.0? End-credits or post-credits scenes generally wrap up loose ends from a scene from earlier in a film — like Brad Pitt's F1: The Movie does — or they can set up a potential sequel. In the case of M3GAN 2.0, there is no post-credits scene and the end credits only show highlights from 2022's M3GAN and the new film, along with a silhouette of M3GAN the AI robot dancing. As for the future of M3GAN the AI android, the sequel makes it clear that the program can function as a disembodied robot no matter how mangled its mechanic makeup gets. As such, there's really no reason to stay in your seats to watch the end credits because there's really no substance to them. Even though there are no scenes in 2.0 that set up another M3GAN (M3GAN 3.0, perhaps?), another movie in the series is in all likelihood something that Universal Pictures executives are considering. M3GAN was a big moneymaker for the studio in 2022 — it made $182 million worldwide against a $12 million budget before prints and advertising, according to The Hollywood Reporter, so they'll no doubt be tempted for a third film depending on how well M3GAN 2.0 does. M3GAN 2.0 is projected by Universal (via THR) to earn $20 million domestically in its opening weekend frame against a $15 million production budget before P&A, which is cheap by Hollywood standards for a major release (Deadline, however, reported that the budget was $25 million, which is still a low number). So, as long as Universal makes enough money to justify another M3GAN film, director Gerard Johnstone is game to make more. The director told THR recently that as AI technology continues to evolve, it will help foster future screen stories. 'I would not be surprised if there's another five of these movies, Johnstone told THR. 'So, who knows, maybe I'll come back for the fifth one.' Lucky for Johnstone, franchise star Allison Williams wants to see more M3GAN movies, too. "We have big aspirations of big dreams, and I certainly don't feel like I'm done making these movies with these people and this tonal landscape and the subject matter,' Williams told THR recently. 'So, yeah, I have been dreaming of a third, for sure.' M3GAN 2.0 opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.
