Calvin Can't Fly - an ASL Storybook
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Susan Nussbaum. As an artist and activist, she empowered people with disabilities, especially women.
Calvin Can't Fly's voice actor and co-producer Michael Herzovi had the pleasure of working with Susan and wrote these words to commemorate her life:
I knew Susan Nussbaum only casually, but our paths crossed from time to time. In the early days, I met her when I was audio describing for theater. She was sharp and smart, and also stern. Some years later I auditioned for her. She was directing "The History of Bowling" by Mike Ervin. After I finished, she looked at me and said, “Why haven’t I seen you before?” She always talked to me like I was a worldly theater artist and activist, like her. I hope that I am living up to that. What Susan and people like her did made it possible for me and people like me to do what we do.
