  • "Handicap This!"  Boston Tour 2013

    Posted Sunday November 10 2013 at 6:07 pm in News

    Handicap This! is a true story that started in 2001 and continues to this day.  Mike Berkson and Tim Wambach hope this show will further their message of 'Judgment Not Allowed' and inspire all of us to do more with what we have.  Handicap This! will stir your senses, challenge your thinking and wake up your attitude.  It's a look at breaking down barriers and living with disabilities - most of all about everyone's potential.

    In this 78-minute journey you will experience an entertaining message of possibilities.  Mike Berkson, one of the stars of the show has cerebral palsy, but this show is much more than a disability awareness piece.  You will be inspired to do more with what you have and everyone will enjoy every minute of this roller-coaster ride of emotions.
