Love Is a Disability

The theater is for everyone. Nobody knows that better than Deborah Nowinski, founder and artistic director of Dionysus Theatre, a company devoted to breaking down barriers by mixing disabled actors into the cast of the company’s family-friendly shows. The award-winning group usually focuses on shows like the sweetly tart You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. Tonight’s production is a tad more serious. Love Is a Disability focuses on both the fun and the sorrow of love for the able--bodied and differently-abled. Told in scenes and song, the spirited message shows us the power of love. 7:30 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays. Through March 6. Jewish Community Center, 5601 South Braeswood. For information, call 713-728–0041 or visit www.dionysustheatre.org. $10 to $20.
