REVIEWS
These artists are not just making theater that affirms their life experience. They are showing the rest of us how their life experience affirms, and enhances, the theater.” – The New York Times
“It’s a piece of unexpectedly brilliant theater about which giving too much away would undermine its maximum effect.” –New York Stage Review
We met with the cast after the performance and they are very impressive people. This was a rare and very welcome theater experience
.
in a world that does not think critically enough about categorizing, labeling and segregating human beings, this show is so needed! A challenge to all viewers.
Terrific opportunity to hear directly from players whose lived experience highlights the disregard many folks with intellectual or cognitive disabilities face everyday. Institutionalization, sterilization, experimentation, immobilization – these traumas are not ancient history, but potent reminders that these folx, our brethren, our vulnerable to insidious behaviors.
This all being said- the pace and the tone of the performance is not alarming nor strident. There is time to reflect on what the actors are saying. All and all a thought provoking show!
This is an incredible unique show that will raise your social awareness and consciousness. I challenge anyone to see the play and not find new knowledge and/or insight. Highly recommended play!
