About This Show

In the play, the wealthy parents of a girl severely disabled with cerebral palsy are strained to the breaking point by the burden of caring for their daughter. With a friend whose son also has CP, they decide to leave the burden of their children and fly off to South America and Europe.

A Nervous Smile is the final, most powerful play by John Belluso, a wonderful playwright with a disability who passed away more than two years ago.
