The Apothetae is a theater company in New York founded by Gregg Mozgala. The name of the theater company comes from the play The Rules of Charity, where John Belluso referenced the apothetae, a chasm in Ancient Greece where infants, who were found by elders to be too small or disabled, were left to die from exposure.^[1] The term means "the place of exposure," and the theater company aims to expose the disabled experience though history.^[2]
