WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Kathy Levin Shapiro's Eugene's Home, about a cerebral palsy victim struggling to find a place for himself beyond the limited confines of his wheelchair, is directed by Scott Schwartz.

Postscript performance August 9.

To précis the parallels: As a 23-year-old Brown grad, Shapiro began working in a Baltimore nursing home. A year later, she founded an international, intergenerational friendship initiative called "Magic Me." A decade after that, during a spate of Broadway producing (the Tyne Daly Gypsy, etc.), she struck up a friendship with a young man with cerebra[...]
