The way we gauge excellence in acting is often tied up with how a single language is spoken on stage. But in reality, the ways an actor communicates with their audience are far more expansive, elusive even. With much ingenuity, this trio showed us what it means to perform multitudinous languages and shapeshift modalities of communication in one play, all the while inventing deeply moving characters who trust and care for each other, and who extend that work toward the audience as well. For their tremendous synchronicity and putting their hearts on the line in telling a powerful, vulnerable story, and for being an exemplary ensemble with charisma and presence, the judges have awarded a Special Citation Obie to RYAN J. HADDAD, DICKIE HEARTS, and ALEJANDRA OSPINA for DARK DISABLED STORIES.
