Synopsis

Mine to Have is an intimate journey into the lives of people living  within the scope of "other" and their personal quest for love, care, and  compassion. This show, created by Crip arts collective The Other  Ordinary, is an exploration of what it means for relationships to  flourish, fall apart, and survive; disrupting commonly held  misconceptions and myths about 'otherness.' She will draw you in like a  lover and leave you wanting more.
