Gigi’s Playhouse in Scottsdale offers those with Down syndrome skills, camaraderie

Chris Mays knows what’s wrong with the world.

“The world needs more people with Down syndrome,” said Mays, the executive director of GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix, which is actually located in Scottsdale.

“When you’re talking to somebody with Down syndrome, they’re going to tell you exactly what they’re thinking and what they’re feeling,” Mays said. “I love that because if you’re doing something good, they’re going to tell you. If you’re doing something they don’t like, they’re going to tell you ... I think they’re the answer to saving the world.”
