504: The Musical, A Neuro-Inclusive Concert

504: The Musical, by Abbie Goldberg and Mason McDowell, is a fictionalized account of the 1977 San Francisco sit-in that led to civil rights for disabled people. This ensemble piece focuses on the relationships between the protesters—including a protective mother and her Deaf son, loving but polarized brothers, a budding romance between a closeted protester and the lead community organizer, a Black Panther, and an elderly aspiring artist. For 26 days the protestors fight through stigmatization, bomb threats, internalized ableism, and an unfair media, until they eventually triumph in D.C.—all set to a soulful score inspired by 1970s R&B and Pop.

Join us for a night showcasing this groundbreaking new musical. Featuring fresh rewrites and new songs, enjoy this highly anticipated new work redefining who gets to tell the story of history—and how. This concert performance at Joe’s Pub, presented in partnership with EPIC Players, New York City's premiere accessible and neuro-inclusive theatre company, is a one-night-only event showcasing a bold score and a powerful story of resistance, disability pride, and community.
