Behind the Curtain: Ten Years of Covering the Arts and Battling MS

Gary Wien, the publisher of New Jersey Stage, details his last decade - a period in which he was diagnosed with Secondary Progressive MS. He describes his symptoms, treatments, and why it is difficult for him to attend events. He also offers a few suggestions for how to improve accessibility for people with "invisible disease" and talks about the growth of New Jersey Stage during this period of time and the wine magazine that was forced to be put aside.
