-The Early Life of Louis Braille
March is Disabilities Awareness Month and Same Difference Inclusive Theatre Company will be showcasing two plays to highlight and address this very topic. We will be presenting Same Difference: A Developmental Disabilities Awareness Play, in addition to Braille: The Early Life of Louis Braille.
Braille is an account of the early life of Louis Braille, who lived in France in the early 1800’s. When he was 9 years old, he had an accident, and became blind. He went to one of the world’s first Institutes for the Blind, where he developed the system by which blind people read and write today. This happened when he was 15 years old! It is a remarkable story.
