Undergraduate Theatre Association - UTA

04/13/2022

Hello UTA!

We have something a little different coming up on Saturday, April 23rd at 7pm in Vilas Hall, room 4010, in the form of a production led by UW-Madison student Jonathan Guggenmos.

"Stories from the ALS Community" is a brief theatrical and reflective performance regarding the challenges and realities of ALS. It consists of a small collection of monologues based on interviews conducted with individuals diagnosed with ALS. There are three monologues in total, and their content ranges from accepting death to the joys of life. Guest experts will speak on topics related to ALS (symptoms, treatment, research, et cetera) after the monologues are presented. There is no admissions cost for the performance; instead, it is asked that audience members donate what they can to relevant associations.

Seating is limited, so please fill out the RSVP linked in our bio to reserve your seat.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCES:

> The East Campus Mall entrance to the Hemsley Theater has a wheelchair lift, and signs will be posted to direct patrons to the performance space

> The Park Street entrance has a ramp up to the building and an usher will be stationed to direct patrons up the elevator and across to the performance space

If you have any questions about accessibility or accommodations, please email [email protected]
