"A Nervous Smile" is the final, most powerful play by John Belluso, a wonderful playwright with a disability who passed away tragically more than two years ago, on the cusp of a promising career. In the play, the wealthy parents of a girl severely disabled with cerebral palsy are strained to the breaking point by the burden of caring for their daughter. With a friend whose son also has CP, they decide to leave the burden of their children and fly off to South America and Europe. The play presents the consequences of their actions in a taut, riveting, fierce yet funny 80 minutes.
Theater Breaking Through Barriers We had a really good turnout for our reading of Lanford Wilson's adaptation of Ibsen's GHOSTS. The overall feeling is that Ibsen is really hard to do well because well, it's Ibsen, but this play has everything, incest, syphillis, assisted suicide and a fire!

Theater Breaking Through Barriers One reading down and three to go! We had a great turn out at Monday's reading of THE PASSAGE directed by Christina Roussos. Next up is Lanford Wilson's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's, Ghosts. It's the first play to take syphilis head on! How could it be bad.
