“504: The Musical” tells the story of disabled activists who fought for disability rights more than 45 years ago.

The musical revisits the 1977 San Francisco 504 Sit-In, when activists with disabilities and allies occupied a federal building for 25 days to push for enforcement of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

The production features a cast of people with disabilities and highlights the different experiences and access needs within the disability community.

Jolee Harston, who uses a wheelchair and plays June, said seeing disabled actors onstage inspired her to return to theater after stepping away because of chronic illness.

“It blew my mind open to the possibilities of accessible theater,” she said. 

Accessibility is a major part of the production, with features including live captions, fidget toys and visual indicators for light, sound and content warnings.

The show runs through Aug. 23 in Denver, giving audiences a chance to experience this important piece of disability rights history for themselves.
