Shed some light on the lives of folks with disabilities and those who love them.
Here's what audiences have said:
"Extraordinary acting – Ms. Pasquale transformed herself seamlessly from one character to another and all so convincing and believable. Also, it took great courage for Ms. Pasquale to both write and perform this play. I applaud her strength.” - A.B.
“Everybody should see this play.” - Anonymous
“Anne's play blew me away. My nephew was so moved we gave her a standing ovation. His wife broke down crying when Anne asked if there were any questions at the end. Anne is very talented. I was impressed with her strength and feistiness and I wish her luck in this play's influence.” - P.S.If you know someone who has lived through someone's emotional disturbance or mental illness, you owe it to them to get them to this show!
