Visionary Voice Performs presents a reading of “A Fierce Kind of Love.”

Reading 7 – 8pm, Talkback 8 – 9pm

Written by Suli Holum, directed by David Bradley, produced by The Institute on Disabilities at Temple University, funded by the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. In the 1950’s, having child with a disability often led to impossible choices. Parents were pressured to institutionalize their children; those who kept their children at home often experienced isolation.But some parents, particularly mothers, became radicalized. They fought to change systems. They demanded more for their children, and themselves. At this first public showing, you’ll hear performers read the script and have a chance to talk about the play, its themes and its ongoing development.

For more information call 215.204.1356 or visit the Visionary Voice Performs website.

Reading will be Computer-assisted Real-Time (CART) captioned and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted. For any other accommodations, please contact Susan Fullam at the Institute on Disabilities by March 1st.
