At Smoky Mirror Arts Company, we challenge assumptions, amplify unheard voices, and celebrate the full humanity of disabled people.

Our new cabaret, Misunderstood, flips the script on villains from Ursula to the Wicked Witch revealing stories shaped by isolation, injustice, and lack of understanding.

Through dance, music, and theatre, our disabled and neurodiverse artists reclaim these narratives, showing how difference is too often cast as villainy.

Misunderstood isn’t about sympathy it’s about truth, power, and the joy of owning our stories. Come ready to rethink what you thought you knew about villains and about us.
