realwheels.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\nWritten for podcast platforms by Amy Amantea and Jewish community member Rena Cohen,\u00a0Disability Tour Bus<\/i>\u00a0follows Shiloh, a young wheelchair-user, as they navigate their first day as a guide for Funcouver Bus Tours. Working alongside longtime employee and relentless dad-joker Hugh, Shiloh struggles to stick to the Funcouver script when so much of \u201cCanada\u2019s most wheelchair-accessible city\u201d is still so inaccessible. People and politics collide until a new passenger, Tess, comes aboard and offers common ground. The tour must go on! Because there\u2019s someone special waiting for Tess at the end.\u00a0At least she hopes there is.<\/p>\n
The role of Hugh is played by Lenard Stanga, Jewish community member Cadence Rush Quibell\u00a0plays Shiloh, and co-writer Amantea is Tess. The cast is rounded out by Mack Gordon, Caitlyn Bairstow, Ian Hanlin\u00a0and Lauren Jackson\u00a0playing multiple parts.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a wheelchair-user, I\u2019ve heard that whole \u2018most accessible city\u2019 line a lot,\u201d\u00a0said Realwheels co-artistic director Adam Grant Warren.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a big part of the reason I moved to Vancouver from the other side of the country. I\u2019ve been here for 16 years now. After hundreds of busted elevators, torn-up sidewalks and too-full buses, I know Vancouver has a lot of work to do. Access-wise it means well, but it\u2019s a mess sometimes. For me, that\u2019s one of the most interesting tensions in this project: the attempt to create access when no one thought to ask what those of us who are looking for it actually need.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u2013 Courtesy Realwheels Theatre<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
