Free Film Screening & Workshop: Arts and Ability

Please mark your calendar and join me for this free film screening about arts and ability in Asheville on Sunday, March 7 at Jubilee.  If you want to live in a community where all members are included, where the arts and education help bridge differences, and where your sister, brother, cousin, or neighbor who happens to live with disability is part of creating our community, join us.

Watch the trailer:

A New Kind of Listening is the story of a visionary director, a one-of-a-kind theater group, and a young man who could not speak, yet found the voice he had been looking for all his life.

After the screening, the local organizers will be collecting information of those interested in being part of a larger community arts and ability initiative.  Playback Theatre and NC Stage Company are both on board and we hope you will join us also.  A workshop, “Connecting Authentically to People Who Live with Disability” will be held on March 8 from 7-9 p.m. at Jubilee as well.  A $10 donation is recommended and please contact Polly Medlicott to reserve your space, medlicottpolly@yahoo.com.
