Re-Release of 251: "I've Outlived my Usefulness" - A Chat with Disabled Theatre Maker Debbie Patterson Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

Episode Notes

I just found out the other day that the play I have been co-creating for the last 8 years or more on queerness and disability called ACCESS ME has been nominated for 3 DORA awards (a big deal in Toronto Theatre). I was having trouble with the audio for this week's original episode, so I decided to re-release my chat with the disabled theatre maker and dramaturg on ACCESS ME, and my dear friend, Debbie Patterson. She is such a power house of a performer and a great human, so this interview was a joy to re-listen to. Enjoy!
