About

Performed by an intrepid troupe of cripple-threats (artists who identify as Deaf, disabled, Mad or sick) along with our allies, Lame Is… seeks to redefine disability.

Lame is… features music, mime, spoken word, stand up comedy, and all manner of unruly performances. Digging deep into exploring what it means to be disabled, we will challenge audiences’ assumptions about their own bodies and abilities.

Definitely not your average freak show.

Performers in Lame Is… include:
100 Decibels, (Jordan Sangalang, Joanna Hawkins, Christopher Brian de Guzman), Dan Augusta, Heather Bjorklund, Angela Chalmers, Hannah Foulger, Jordan Phillips, Dianna Rasing, and The Talentless Lumps. They are joined by director mentor Arne MacPherson, producer Debbie Patterson, and mentor Tricia Cooper.

Performances are at 8:00 pm, Friday and Saturday June 9 & 10.
Doors open at 7:30.
ASL interpreters will be in the lobby and interpreting performances.

Tickets are $20 for regular admission or $15 for reduced admission for students and people with disabilities.
