"Gregg Mozgala who has cerebral palsy, in particular shatters the myth that actors with mobility problems make for static productions, throwing himself around the stage with abandon.”
TBTB is a theatre which is known for their acceptance of actors with disabilities. Some are blind, some deaf and some are physically handicapped like Gregg Mozgala who has cerebral palsy. But despite his disability, his performance was that of a healthy young man.
