Among the glitz and glamour of Hilbert Circle Theatre during the 2016 Colts Final Audition Showcase on Sunday, April 17th, a few familiar Special Olympics Indiana – Marion County South athletes danced their way across center stage. After the smoke cleared from beyond the sea of blue horseshoes, boots, and pom-poms in the auditions, Joseph Copass-Israels, Rusty Hatchet, and Amber McClain got their turn to shine in the limelight with fellow Down Syndrome Indiana friends and Fierce All-Stars while performing and dancing with the Colts Cheerleaders.
The event also included reality stars from ABC’s The Bachelor, Ben Higgins and fiancé Lauren Bushnell, as guest judges.
