A group of autistic young adults face challenges and embrace independence through a school dance.
Adapted from the acclaimed HBO documentary, How to Dance in Ohio presents a heartfelt, original musical delving into the desire for human connection and the bravery required to venture beyond comfort zones.
Set in a Columbus-based counseling center, the musical follows seven young adults on the autism spectrum as they gear up for a spring formal dance—an endeavor that disrupts their routines and sparks a series of amusing and poignant encounters with romance, stress, enthusiasm, and autonomy.
This show captures the pivotal juncture in these individuals' journeys, as they confront their aspirations and anxieties, poised to embark on a significant inaugural leap...into the world of dance.
