Then a professional director and cast workshopped five selected scripts and recorded them as “DiscoverAbility Radio Playhouse” at local radio station 2NBCfm. For International Day for People With a Disability, Hurstville Council presented a Forum, -“Creative Responses for Diversity and Disability (in partnership with LGSA and Accessible Arts) which included the Showcase presentation of the scriptwriting project, including a live performance of “Peace and Quiet and a Hot Meat Pie” by Ashley Walker (who has cerebral palsy and also created all the theme music for the radio series) and the premiere broadcast, piped through the theatre sound system from 2NBC90.1fm of “Disaster” written by a trio of year 12 guys from Carinya Special School. The series is available to community radio stations across Australia and from Hurstville City Library.
