The story follows one man’s journey of self-discovery as he searches for acceptance of his rare multi-system genetic disease, Tuberous Sclerosis. The show is an invitation for audiences to observe the constraints of physical disabilities and through the magic of theatre look deeper into the consciousness of a person. By tearing down the walls of shame, humiliation, and indignity we witness the heartfelt touching tale of overcoming one of life’s most challenging obstacles. This production will be staged at Saint John’s Prep in the Weber Center. Parking is available in front of the school.
