\"\"<\/a>Disney+ announced today that acclaimed actress Rosemarie DeWitt (“The Staircase<\/em>“), and Emmy\u00ae Award-winning actors Luke Kirby (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/em>“) and Judith Light (“American Crime Story<\/em>“) have been added to the cast of “Out of My Mind<\/em><\/strong>,” a Disney+ Original movie adaptation of Sharon Draper’s award-winning novel of the same name. Also joining the ensemble cast of the movie, from director Amber Sealey, are Michael Chernus (“Severance<\/em>“) and Courtney Taylor (“Insecure<\/em>“). Production is currently underway in Toronto.<\/p>\n

“Out of My Mind<\/em>” follows Melody Brooks (newcomer Phoebe-Rae Taylor), a girl with cerebral palsy. Melody has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but due to her being non-verbal and using a wheelchair, she is not given the same academic opportunities as her classmates. However, when Katherine, a young educator notices her student’s untapped potential, she encourages Melody to participate in mainstream education, where greater successes – and challenges – await.<\/p>
