Tellin’ Tales of Parkinson’s Disease: Storytelling for Psychosocial Support
Body
The Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders program is bringing Tellin’ Tales Theatre to Shirley Ryan AbilityLab to help you tell your Parkinson’s story. Tellin’ Tales Theatre is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to shatter the barriers between the disabled and non-disabled worlds through the transformative power of storytelling. Tellin’ Tales Theatre brings together adults and youth from both communities to share their stories in theatrically innovative productions and programs to promote awareness, understanding and acceptance.
