GDA Purple Poncho Players: Telling it Like it is!

GDA supports members to speak out about disability issues every chance we get! Our Purple Poncho Players take it to the next level, using music, comedy and drama to depict their own real life experiences on stage, for audiences of policy makers, service managers, and government officials.

Their sketches show powerful personal stories of the barriers disabled people face – they show disabled people’s experiences of welfare reform, isolation, hate crime and prejudice, as well as the difference it can make having the right support, social connections, choice and control in our lives.
