    Waiting for the Bus
    by James Burnside

    Directed by Liz Ross

    Waiting for the Bus is a unique and groundbreaking theatrical production that centers around a bus stop. This setting, though simple, serves as a profound backdrop for exploring themes of patience, hope, and the human condition. The original script, written through a collaborative process led by award-winning playwright James Burnside, tells the story of the disability rights movement through the lens of individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities, and showcases the everyday experiences of individuals living in an institutional facility, highlighting their resilience, challenges, and the often-overlooked nuances of their lives.

    Waiting for the Bus is not just a play; it is a cultural event with the power to inspire change and foster greater understanding. The production's significance is further elevated by the fact that it is an original work premiering in Austin, providing a unique opportunity for the city to host a world premiere that shines a spotlight on disability rights and inclusion.

    NOTE:

    The history of disability can be difficult and dark. We have done our best to authentically portray the struggles as well as the successes that people with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities have experienced over the centuries, as society has slowly adapted and adjusted to become more accessible and inclusive.
