This project
will feature two one-act plays about living with disabilities in Toronto’s
Portuguese community. Being Independent is the story of a woman who
escapes her overprotective family and finds a sense of belonging with
other people with disabilities. Joe, John and Jack: Safety at Work looks
at the calamitous consequences of cutting corners at the construction
site.
