Several of the cast members (Gregg Mozgala, Tiffany Villarin, Marinda Anderson, and Shannon DeVido) perform a scene from their hit play "Teenage Dick," followed by a talk on accessibility and the importance of diverse representation in the arts.
About the play:
A brilliantly hilarious take on Richard III, Shakespeare’s classic tale of power lust, TEENAGE DICK reimagines the most famous disabled character of all time as a 16-year-old outsider in the deepest winter of his discontent: his junior year at Roseland High. Picked on because of his cerebral palsy (as well as his sometimes creepy Shakespearean way of speaking), Richard is determined to have his revenge and make his name by becoming president of the senior class. But as he manipulates and crushes the obstacles to his electoral success, Richard finds himself faced with a decision he never expected would be his to make: is it better to be loved or feared?
Tony nominee Moritz von Stuelpnagel (Present Laughter, Hand to God) directs Mike Lew’s (Tiger Style!) devastatingly funny, sharply written new play about perception, disability, and the lengths we’re willing to go to rise above our station in life… and high school.
TEENAGE DICK was produced by Ma-Yi Theater in association with The Public Theater and commissioned and developed by The Apothetae, a company dedicated to plays that explore and illuminate the "Disabled Experience."
