Laugh at Us: The Merry Pranksters Theatrical Troupe...For the Exceptionally Talented
actressThis film follows a courageous group of mentally challenged adults as they struggle to present and perform a full-length theatrical production. Interspersed with interviews by actors, relatives, and volunteers, Laugh at Us trailed the troupe over a six-month period to chronicle everything, from the scripting stage and rehearsals to opening night's curtain call. These dedicated actors' physical and mental disabilities - ranging from Down's Syndrome, cerebral palsy, and autism to obsessive-compulsive disorder - makes for a painful, but always inspiring, creative process.
