Have you ever become invisible in Whole Foods? Or fielded a stranger’s question about your sexual functioning? Enter the absurd world of Teal Sherer. The World Looks Different Sitting Down is her tale of confronting the world at crotch level to bust open misconceptions and limitations about life as a wheelchair user. Drawing from traditions of standup comedy, theater and dance, Teal’s storytelling weaves together realism with heightened physical theater for a bold, unapologetic evening that’s hilarious, enraging and heartrending.
