Kevin Kling, a notable NPR commentator and storyteller, will premiere his one-man play, 'Kevin Kling: Unraveled,' at the Contemporary American Theater Festival in Shepherd University. This play stems from his personal experiences with disability, shedding light on the changes in societal perceptions over the years. Kling, who has faced significant challenges, including a congenital arm defect and a traumatic brain injury, aims to connect with audiences through humor and shared experiences of loss, both familiar and universal. This event, set against the scenic backdrop of Shepherdstown, invites locals to engage with a powerful narrative centered on community and acceptance.
