Through an intensive six-week writing workshop, participants craft personal stories and develop public speaking skills to transform those stories into powerful presentations.

We invite you to a showcase of stories that run the gamut of life experiences – from work and family to advocacy, immigration, forays into the theatre, and more. Together these presentations will shatter misconceptions about what it means to live with a disability and remind us that everyone, regardless of ability and background, shares a common humanity. RSVP, invite your friends, and follow our Facebook event page for updates.

Doors open at 1:45 PM // Show starts at 2:00 PM

Join us in the theatre lobby after the showcase for our “Paws and Claws” Art Pop-Up and “Pet Love” Reception!

Park in our parking lot, which is accessible off Springdale, just past Daily Greens, and around the back of the building.
