The Apothetae

The Apothetae’s founder and artistic director, Gregg Mozgala, shares on the company website that the namesake translates to “the place of exposure.” As a decorated actor and playwright, who happens to have cerebral palsy, Gregg wanted to create a platform for conversations around disability. He says, “One of my company’s primary goals is the creation of new full-length plays that will make visible the ‘disabled experience,’ both personal and collective, throughout history.” And that’s what makes Apothetae such a unique company as it engages both actors and playwrights who are disabled and non-disabled. Aside from stellar original productions, Apothetae presents established material inclusive of disability-related themes, such as Oedipus, Richard III and The Elephant Man.
