Feisty Disabled Artists is a disabled cabaret which builds on the work of shows like How to Dance in Ohio and Ryan J. Haddad’s Dark Disabled Stories by not only increasing representation of and accessibility for disabled theater artists and audiences, but by embracing the creatively generative potential of disability artistry. In the spirit of disability activist Judy Heumann, this show acts as an opportunity to build a disability community and strengthen the networks that will bring disability justice to the theater industry. The evening, which aims to showcase disabled artists, will prioritize accessibility through offering ASL interpretation, visual description, large print signage, and a wheelchair accessible space. In addition to the in-person gathering, the event will also be live streamed.
