Don't hold back. Be fearless. Don't be afraid to show your entire self.

Adam Pottle does not stick to one type of writing. 

The British Columbia-born, Saskatoon-based artist has dabbled in it all: children's literature, post-secondary education, playwriting, memoir publishing, on top of being a leader among Deaf and disabled cultural communities.

To date, his published catalogue includes a memoir, multiple novels, a book of poetry and two plays.

This summer, Pottle celebrates his most recent theatrical work, The Black Drum, the first all-Deaf musical to have been written, performed and published.

The play, which is performed via American Sign Language (ASL) and signed music, is described as, "An epic fantasy about grief and healing [that] questions the concept of music we are conditioned to believe, suggesting that music is not just something you hear, it is something you see and feel."
