Thrilled to see one of my shots of the incredibly talented Gregg Mozgala from the ‘Cost of Living’ shoot was featured in the NYTimes a little while back. Working with Gregg was an honor and I'm grateful for the opportunity. . . . . . . . . @gmozgala @mtc_nyc @nytimes @serinocoyne @pixproducersinc #greggmozgala #mtc #CostOfLiving #broadway #theatre #nytimes #portrait #portraitphotography #zacharymaxwellstertzphotography #zacharymaxwellstertz #zacharystertz #zmsphoto #zmsphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5fPllAm0O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RYAN O’CONNELL would like you to know that he is tired and pissed off and horny. He is tired of waiting for what he calls “our ‘Transparent’ moment” (some of his fellow actors call it, instead, “our ‘Pose’ moment”), by which he means a single piece of breakthrough pop culture that makes people aware of a heretofore ignored and stereotyped minority, a prizewinning, noisemaking event that kicks open the door to mainstream omnipresence and ultimately to normalization. He is pissed off that it hasn’t happened yet. “I think about this a lot,” he says. “Why, in this woke-ass culture that we live in, where so much attention is given to marginalized populations, do people with disabilities still largely go ignored?” The actor, who has cerebral palsy, is also, he says, “horny for representation that comes from actual disabled people, because we live in a dark hellscape of a capitalist country. Real power can only be accrued through opportunities, and you need to be given the keys to tell your own story.”

[cripvideoproductions]

The Crip Video Productions Tumblr blog was re shared to a blog list on a blog called “The Most Usually Unsual”. They used to have a separate page on the top in the blog tabs called “The Roll Call” . Crip Video Productions was originally shared on “The Roll Call” in 2014 here http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/79127325052/the-roll-call and was shared again in 2018 here http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/174809342521/revisiting-the-roll-call because a lot of Crip Video Productions’ work is centered around Cerebral Palsy as our director Margot has mild Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy like most of the lead characters in our films like Ava,Brandon and Randy and part of our mission is to increase understanding of the life experience of having Cerebral Palsy. We hope to keep raising awareness and understanding of life with Cerebral Palsy this spring and for a long time after.  

This is a great blog list for people who want to learn more about Cerebral Palsy. Our friend @robynlambird who is involved with “Enter The Faun” (a full length documentary on Cerebral Palsy and dance that our director Margot is featured in!), and our friend at “Tonia Says” http://toniasays.blogspot.com @ficdirectory  @tarajean621 is also featured on the list in addition to Crip Video Productions. “Tonia Says” gave publicity to “A Stroke Of Endurance” here http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/169054816306/creator-of-tonia  

Super Special thanks to Sarah Perkins of "The Most Usually Unusual” for the publicity!

'Cost of Living' Broadway Review: Are Lives Lived Well or Wasted?

See the Cost of Living for the performances which are striking and memorable.

Gregg Mozgala, Kara Young in Cost of Living at MTC (Jeremy Daniel) What price do we place on our own inherent value? What is the rock bottom cost we have to pay to live with dignity and be fulfilled emotionally, physically, materially? These subtle questions as well as questions about our need for respect and life-giving emotional and spiritual connection compose the themes of Martyna Majok’s…

I have Cerebral Palsy. Below is a post about Cerebral Palsy awareness month 2017 from my film related social media site here   https://plus.google.com/u/1/b/103662816758572885430/103662816758572885430/posts/4tuKn6SbWxR

March is Cerebral Palsy awareness month. Many of the characters in our films have Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy (often shortened to "CP") is a brain injury that happens before, during, or shortly after birth. It can be caused by lack of oxygen to the brain or conditions such as a fetal brain hemorrhage, which is very similar to a stroke, but in most cases the reason for the brain damage is unknown. Cerebral Palsy affects the

[zacharystertz]

Throwback to one of my favorite shoots from a few months ago! It was an honor to photograph the key art for the Manhattan Theatre Club's production of "Cost of Living". The play tells such a powerful story about the challenges of disability and the importance of human connection. I loved working with the talented Gregg Mozgala @gmozgala, Katy Sullivan @realkatysullivan, Kara Young @karaakter, David Zayas @zz_nyc along with @mtc_nyc @serinocoyne @pixproducersinc @greggmakeupnyc @martyna_majok #jobonney #costofliving #CostOfLivingBroadway #mtcny #broadway #theatre #zms #zmsphotography #zmsphoto #zacharymaxwellstertz #zacharymaxwellstertzphotography (at NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpk6wxjvYT1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The ‘Cost of Living’ on Broadway Is Absolutely Worth It

Julieta Cervantes What is not said, and the many silences that pepper its structure, are just as important in Martyna Majok’s Pulitzer-winning play, Cost of Living (Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, to October 30), as what is said between its four characters: John (Gregg Mozgala), a graduate student with cerebral palsy, Jess (Kara Young, recently Tony-nominated for Clyde’s), a bartender who becomes his…

Access doesn’t just mean structural access; it means programmatic and economic accessibility,”  [Gregg] Mozgala said. “What is the responsibility of artists and institutions to make sure that when people go looking, they don’t say, ‘We couldn’t find anyone’? Who is welcoming and training the next generation of Ali Strokers, and how does the larger culture need to change?”

Ali Stroker’s Tony Win Is a Huge Step for Performers With Disabilities

Let’s also not forget that Ali was able to accept her award because she was backstage after the Oklahoma! number, but not able to get onstage for their Best Revival win because there was no ramp.
