Step aboard the short bus for Sped Kid, the powerful, funny, and deeply personal story of Achilles athlete Adam Linn’s journey growing up legally blind in 1980s Boston. A heartwarming coming-of-age story about the power of friendship to overcome even the toughest odds. This show is for anyone who has ever felt different—and for those who stand by them.

All proceeds from this performance benefit @Achilles_International. "Between my fellow disabled athletes and the many guides who have joined me over the years, I have made so many great friends that inspire me every day—not just on the track or at the gym, but everywhere in my life. Bottom line: I love Achilles," Adam shares.

Where: The 52nd Street Project Theater (789 10th Ave)
When: Friday, June 6, 2025 at 7:00 PM
Cost: $40

Don’t miss this inspiring, must-see performance. Tickets are going fast, purchase now! #GoAchilles by @achillesnyc
