About the Production
PUSH! Real Athletes. Real Stories. Real Theatre. is an interview-based theatre production showcasing Canadian Parasport athletes. PUSH! weaves together a history of Parasport competition, personal histories, disability rights, triumphs, challenges, and record-breaking victories with video and a live musical score. Although they share in their passion, commitment and excellence, PUSH! shows us that each athlete's journey is unique.
