About A Fierce Kind of Love 

In the 1950’s, parents were pressured to institutionalize their children with disabilities. Those who kept their children at home often experienced isolation. But a generation of parents, particularly mothers, demanded more for their children and for themselves.  A Fierce Kind of Love tells the story of these accidental warriors, their children, and the generations who followed them. 

The Institute on Disabilities at Temple University, in a special collaboration with playwright Suli Holum and director David Bradley, brings these stories to the public for the first time. At this first public showing, you’ll hear performers read the script and have a chance to talk about the play, its themes, and its ongoing development.

Visionary Voices Performs is supported by a grant from The Heritage Philadelphia Program, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage to the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University.
