The Other Plays: Short Plays About Diversity and Otherness - 2017

Theater Breaking Through Barriers presents an evening of short plays exploring the themes of race, religion, sexual identity, and social otherness. As a band of artists who live and represent disability—the only Otherness that knows no race, religion, gender, age, country, or political affiliation—TBTB's goal is to unite all Others on a common ground to learn, share, and grow together as one. The production featured five brand new plays by: Dennis A. Allen, Bekah Brunstetter, Lameece Isaaq, Neil LaBute, and Tatiana G. Rivera as well as performances by Pamela Sabaugh, Stephen Drabicki, Ryan Haddad, and Russell Barnes.

“Thought Provoking Theater” — Neil Genslinger, the New York Times

"A funny, quick-paced and clever evening of extremely short plays that explore the challenges presented by diversity and otherness in many of its forms…” — René Grayre Gallery

"Overall, this evening of theater is a moment to reevaluate and retire tropes of people living with disabilities as anything but independent and full of verve.” — Theatre is Easy

"The caliber of the evening continued improving and morphing into something quite special...It was a collection of shorts that is very much speaking to the call of right now.” — NY Theatre Guide
