Absorbing, Great acting, Intense, Resonant

See it if A beautifully executed play about the autism spectrum is brought to life by a very talented group of actors at the Sheen Center.

Don't see it if Unlike overrated & heavy handed "Curious Incident", this production also relies on technology, but without beating you over the head with it

Ambitious, Great staging, Thought-provoking, Relevant, Profound

See it if Well staged /designed & emotionally gripping Tectonic's theatrical piece about life on the autism spectrum from both sides of the experience

Don't see it if Following 4 separate stories, piece is slightly static Feel-good love story gets a little too much emphasis Parental story truly harrowing

Clever, Delightful, Great writing, Intelligent, Resonant

See it if you want to learn about autism in a nuanced and human way. This has biology lesson parts but it is more about the actual life side

Don't see it if you don't like conceptual pieces that can get a bit uncomfortable at times because of the subject matters and the actions of the actors

Great staging, Thought-provoking, Ambitious, Intelligent, Intense

See it if you want to see a cast portray the spectrum of autism very well. Projection design and staging is very well done.

Don't see it if you are bothered by some weaker acting from some of the cast or the constant jumping among the four stories.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if you have a connection to autism or are interested in characters who experience the world differently; you like great acting and staging.

Don't see it if you are looking for a story that follows a central character through a beginning, middle and end. Read more

Overwhelming, Great staging, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if Want to get several different examples of lives of people with autism that aren't sugar coated

Don't see it if You would get too overwhelmed with all the displays though there are more sensory friendly performances
