Watch Me Walk
written and performed by Anne Gridley
directed by Eric Ting
choreography by Asli Bulbul
in association with the Under the Radar Festival
January 14 2026 - February 15 2026
Being disabled always includes an element of chance.
Anne has a disease you’ve probably never heard of and it doesn’t have a cure. Her doctor says it shouldn’t define her, but she’s going to define it for you.
Watch Me Walk is a hilarious, biting, and compassionate new play about disability, pity, injustice, and family mythologies that will stay with you long after the curtain–or Anne–falls.

Under the Radar Festival
For over two decades, the Under the Radar Festival has brought bold, risk-taking work to New York City, celebrating groundbreaking theater and performance from around the world and just down the street. Produced in collaboration with dozens of venues at a selection of historic and emerging theaters across New York City, the festival showcases innovative multidisciplinary artists whose work speaks powerfully to the present moment. Under the Radar’s influence sets a cultural standard that resonates through the artistic landscape far further and beyond our January schedule. In coordination with Festival founder and Director Mark Russell, Producers Thomas O. Kriegsmann and Sami Pyne of ArKtype, and with the addition of this year’s highly-esteemed Co-Creative Directors Meropi Peponides and Kaneza Schaal, UTR is positioned to continue to capitalize on the Festival’s rich history and expand on a tradition of trailblazing new direction.

Watch Me Walk is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
