Watch Me Walk

Watch Me Walk starts January 14

Being disabled always includes an element of chance.

Anne has a disease you’ve probably never heard of and it doesn’t have a cure. Her doctor says it shouldn’t define her, but she’s going to define it for you.

Watch Me Walk is a hilarious, biting, and compassionate new play about disability, pity, injustice, and family mythologies that will stay with you long after the curtain–or Anne–falls.

In association with the Under the Radar Festival

Dear New York City Theater Dreamers,

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of living in Harlem all my life, going through programs and schools that loved the arts and treated them sacredly. I’ve always loved plays, always wrote plays, and will always write plays.

This year, I received my off Broadway debut when Soho Rep produced The Great Privation on 42nd Street. Getting off the 3 train coming from Harlem and seeing all the theater signs glowing in the dark and knowing that one of them was mine rocked my world.

When I first got whiff that Soho Rep had read The Great Privation, I melted. Soho Rep was a dream opportunity, and I thought I had to come into my first meeting with them with my best suit and a great speech about how ready I was. But their first question was: “Tell us about who you are and what your values are.” Whenever I tried to talk about how thankful I would be for the chance to be produced at Soho Rep, they said, “You have nothing to prove. Your work speaks for itself.”

Prince Faggot's reign is not over yet!

Although the show has now closed at the Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons, the world premiere has returned limited  engagement at Studio Seaview (305 W 43rd St), from September 11–December 13. Learn more here.
