OTTO WEIDT'S BRUSH AND BROOM WORKSHOP FOR THE BLIND- BEAM23

In May 2023 I had the absolute privilege of performing at BEAM 2023. Working with Caitlyn Burt and Amir Shoenfeld I was cast as Otto Weidt in the BEAM pitch of a new musical ‘OTTO WEIDT'S BRUSH AND BROOM WORKSHOP FOR THE BLIND’

Inspired by a true story, Otto Weidt is a blind German man who employs Jewish workers with vision impairments during WWII, shielding them from the Nazis. When Alice, the secretary he falls in love with, is transported to Auschwitz, Otto must overcome the prejudices of his brother and country in his attempt to rescue her.

With visual information integrated into dialogue, lyrics and sound design, Otto Weidt’s creative access enhances the piece for audience members of all sight levels, telling an important story of strength in diversity.
