SUMMARY:“Waiting for the Bus” Script Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Art Spark Texas along with members of TILT Performance Group and ATX Theatre ConFab producers for a developmental reading of James Burnside’s “Waiting for the Bus\,” a new play on America’s long and troublesome history of institutionalizing people with disabilities. \nSynopsis: The history of the institutionalization of disabled people\, particularly people with intellectual and developmental disabilities\, in America began in the 1840s with the noble notion of “Moral Therapy.” That what would “cure” these people was light\, fresh air\, good food\, and honest work. Large gothic facilities were built in the countryside\, and they rapidly became overcrowded\, poorly maintained\, and poorly staffed while “patients” were subjected to all manner of experimental “procedures.” This play could easily have been just another horror show​. And that would certainly be a large portion of the truth\, but lost would be the humanity of the people who lived in these institutions—people with hopes and dreams and love\, people with family and friends. \nAfterwards\, stay for a talk led by AST Executive Director Celia Hughes where you can gain new perspectives about what it’s like to live with or without accommodations directly from cast and audience members living with disabilities and from advocates who specialize in providing accommodations. \nTHIS IS THE PLACE where you can finally ask all those burning questions about exactly how to create events that are more accessible to ALL audiences—with the added benefit of witnessing methods in action during the reading. \nWe will provide ASL interpreting\, audio description\, and open captions.

SUMMARY:Audio Described Performance of “Antigonick”
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary translation of the classic Greek drama that asks\, “How do we care for the dead and how do we grieve amidst crisis?” Antigonick is strangely reimagined by the inimitable Classics scholar and award-winning poet\, Anne Carson. \nDirected by Salvage Vanguard’s co-producing Artistic Director Diana Lynn Small\, Antigonick stretches the boundaries of story in poetry and theater.

SUMMARY:Audio Described Performance of “The Rover”
DESCRIPTION:In 1677\, poet\, libertine\, and sometime spy for Charles II\, Aphra Behn was the first published professional female playwright in the English language. Her play The Rover\, or the Banish’d Cavaliers was wildly popular in the Court\, but Behn was dismissed as lewd by critics due to her frank depiction of female sexual longing. \nThe Hidden Room presents this rarely-performed delight as a mash-up of 1677 and 1983 – a Restoration/New Romantic proto-feminist sex romp\, complete with swashbuckling sword fights\, forbidden romance\, masked revelers\, and bitchen live music. Pop your ruffled collar and behold Aphra Behn’s The Rover. \nRunning time: 2 hours and 15 minutes including one 10 minute intermission \nPurchase tickets online. Please make a note in the special instructions if you would like to use audio description.
