Maybe you know someone with Austism. Maybe you have a child or student on the spectrum. Or perhaps you'd like to learn more about the inner lives of those who struggle with this. No matter how much or little you know about autism, you'll be forever moved by the touching story of Caitlin, an unforgettable character who first appeared in the National Book Award-winning young adult novel. This play unfolds as Caitlin is coping with the loss of her brother Devon, who was killed in a school shooting. Her unique experience of grief and search for closure help her move beyond her old black-and-white world and into a life of greater complexity and understanding. A must-see for anyone who teaches or cares about someone on the spectrum.
