OUR NEW 2025 POSTER - A HUGE THANK YOU TO JIM HARPER
Bring your friends to experience this wonderful show on 5/10/2025
- WE ARE SO VERY PROUD TO INTRODUCE OUR 2025 CAUSE -
LOVEU2PIECES understands the importance of meaningful relationships and is committed to providing a safe environment where neurodivergent children and teens can connect with peers and have fun. Our supplemental program offers social groups for ages 3-17 based in play/activity which enhance understanding of self/other, working with a group, self-advocacy and social confidence
LOVEU2PIECES Social Groups give children and teens a chance to build social confidence to take out into the larger social world when they leave LoveU2Pieces. Our groups include: Early Childhood, Elementary Social Connections, Middle- and High School Teen Time.
LOVEU2PIECES
LoveU2Pieces was founded to fill a gap in the autism community. Since its inception in 2009, experience has taught us that many children without an autism diagnosis benefit from social support. Our population is made up of neurodiverse children and teens who may have a diagnosis such as autism, developmental delay, ADHD, or social anxiety. Still others may not have a diagnosis but are seeking opportunities to build friendships. Children and teens who thrive at LoveU2Pieces are those who benefit from small group sizes and require minimal support.

INTRODUCING OUR PHOTOGRAPHER - TIFF BANKS
I’m Tiff Banks, a unit stills photographer based in St.
Louis, MO. I've had the privilege of working with some ridiculously talented csts and crews, freezing those bts photos that make a project unforgettable.
it’s been in my DNA since I was that kid with a disposable camera on family vacations. Fast forward to 2022, I made the decision to take this passion seriously, and I’ve never looked back.
I do everything from
feature films to music videos, commercials,
and concerts, I’m all about freezing the vibe
and telling a story in a frame.
When I’m not on set, I’m either binging films, flipping through screenplays, grabbing sushi with friends, or chilling with my partner and our cats.

Sioux Roslawski is a middle school teacher who retired and immediately begged to be put back into the classroom. Now, she's found such a heavenly job, she figures at some point she'll be so falling apart, she'll need to be wheeled in, strapped onto a dolly Hannibal Lecter-style, because she'll still want to teach. Sioux is a mother of two and grammy to four. In her spare time she rescues golden retrievers and freelance writes. Her proudest writing accomplishment? The publication of her historical novel about the Tulsa Race Massacre, Greenwood Gone: Henry's Story. Sioux has been on the Mama Said, Mama Said stage twice, and she's now thrilled to be one of Laura's lackeys. .
