It’s not enough, in my opinion, for Cal to just sort of sit there on the sidelines not getting to participate in anything. It’s not enough for anybody to just sort of be there disconnected.
What I want is for a kid, a disabled kid, a nonverbal kid, to see this and suddenly say, not just, oh, I could be in an opera, I could maybe be an actor, maybe I could play Kitsune one day. But I also want that kid to say, there I am. I exist.
