I'm Steven Warner and you're located where the magic happens.
Right now, we're in the UVA drama department scene shop.
We build sets, we paint sets, whatever the show entails, we do.
When I heard about Children's Assistive Technology Services putting on Hallowheels every year.
Building costumes for children with special needs,
I felt like we needed to be a part of it.
My kid had a very specific idea,
She wanted to replicate her grandfather's airboat.
Lilianna came in and she was so excited. She said the word 'fashion'.
And we ended up steering fashion into 'Rockstar Princess.'
So we're building an entire stage for her.
We sat down together and sketched things out and talked about it
and landed on this Peppa Pig themed costume.
We're so excited, but also nervous,
about bringing our costumes to the children.
We're going to fit our finished costumes onto the wheelchairs,
and then we're gonna set them loose on the downtown mall to go trick or treating.
Well, we are very excited.
This is our first time we've ever had a costume made just for you
like this, isn't it?
Yeah! Yeah, it is.
I like it! I like it too!
Her grandfather has an airboat, and they would go play on the airboat, down in Florida.
He unfortunately passed away, and so Gabi wanted to pay
homage, to her grandfather.
We were really excited about getting this Peppa Pig car.
You can see that she loves it.
I like Peppa Pig!
It's a chance for our students to actually give back
to a community that's maybe underserved.
Maybe they can engage with the world, in ways that only they are uniquely able to.
This year not only is she going to stand out for her disability,
but she's going to stand out for her ability to fit in.
And that's what's going to make it very exciting for her,
is that they're not going to look at her as being different.
So this has just been a wonderful, exciting day.
We feel just like everyone else, don't we?
Yeah!
