David W. Connolly, the only double amputee to have performed on Broadway, will be joined by a Broadway actor, Broadway choreographer, Broadway casting director and Broadway producer to discuss the dearth of disabled inclusion in the performing arts. Is it related to a lack of well-trained disabled actors and if so, how do we encourage post-secondary institutions to radically change their models of training and recruitment? Creating, casting, producing, educating… where do we start? Please join the conversation. #BroadwayConInclusion
