Always Looking Up

Jenna Bainbridge On Why Disability Needs To Be Portrayed With Authenticity


Listen Later

In this week’s episode I sat down with Jenna Bainbridge. Jenna is an actor, singer, disability rights advocate, and ambulatory wheelchair user. She most recently appeared as Harry T. Burn and others in the Off-Broadway production of Suffs at The Public Theatre. We discuss the concept of accidental accessibility, why conversations around authentic representation can no longer exclude disability, the fact that those who are breaking boundaries may not yet feel seen, and imagine what shows we would re-cast with disabled actors.
