Non-Vertical Girl

"We are living in a vertical world - and I am a non-vertical girl!"

Non-Vertical Girl is a powerful, quirky, and upbeat musical about the world of physical disability. It's a story about rolling with the punches and thinking on your wheels. From the onset of a lifelong illness as a teen, through a devastating car crash, and ultimately to love and success, this is one woman's triumph despite - and often because of - her unique physical differences.
