Acclaimed writer and performer Ryan J. Haddad (Hi, Are You Single?, Netflix's The Politician) makes his off-Broadway playwriting debut with the hilarious and audacious Dark Disabled Stories. Haddad’s newest autobiographical play is a series of unforgiving vignettes about the strangers he encounters while navigating a city (and a world) not built for his walker and cerebral palsy. Directed by Jordan Fein (Rags Parkland Sings The Songs of The Future), Dark Disabled Stories probes implicit ableism and the assumptions we make about people we'll never really know.

COVID-19 Safety Information:

Audience Advisory: Dark Disabled Stories will offer Open Captions, Audio Descriptions, and American Sign Language at every performance. Learn more below about accessible seating accommodations and our audience experience before selecting your seats for the performance. <br> <br> Captions and ASL are integrated into the design and staging of the production, so patrons need not sit in a designated area to access them. Still, we encourage members of the d/Deaf and hard of hearing communities to sit in the center of the house and at least a few rows back for optimal viewing.<br><br> Audio descriptions of the production are included in the script's text, and a separate device is not necessary to access the description. <br><br> We have expanded our wheelchair and mobility disability seating access in the front row of the Shiva Theater for this production. Still, space is limited based on the capacity of the venue, and we ask that companions who do not require accessible seating choose companion seats in the second row for the performance. The Public may adjust seating locations before or upon arrival at the performance to reunite parties who have been separated during the reservation process.<br><br> The Public may adjust seating locations before or upon arrival to assist in meeting accommodation requests from guests with disabilities. We appreciate your assistance and support of a welcoming and inclusive experience for all. <br><br> The Public strives to create an inclusive and welcoming space where audience members can be free to be themselves for this production, and expectations about audience etiquette are relaxed at this performance. We will share specifics about this relaxed theater experience in our performance reminders.
