For four years Durham has been home to a unique organization called Turning Point Theater. The group's productions are performed by an ensemble that includes people with physical and mental disabilities. Turning Point's mission of inclusion in the arts community has helped its members find their voices in a society that assumes they cannot understand messages or communicate effectively. The success of the theater group is documented in a new film called "A New Kind of Listening" by director Kenny Dalsheimer. He and Richard Reho, the director of Turning Point Theater, join host Frank Stasio to talk about expression through art.
