504: The Musical

1977. San Francisco. A prolific group of disabled activists walks and rolls into the federal building, refusing to leave until the first major piece of legislation for disability rights is enforced. They stayed in that building for 25 days. 504: The Musical is a fictionalized adaptation of those fateful days of disabled resistance. This world premiere pulses with energy, heart, and the unmistakable spirit of resilience in the face of a world that doesn’t accept you. Blending vibrant music with rich storytelling, the show follows a community on the brink of change as they fight for connection, identity, and hope in the face of shifting times.
