Autistic License: April 17, 2009, 7pm
Hudson High School, Hudson, WI

About the Event:

“AUTISTIC LICENSE” 2009 Outreach Tour is Coming to Wisconsin! WWAACC is pleased to present a unique community awareness opportunity! In cooperation with the Illusion Theater in Minneapolis, WWAACC will bring this first time event to our region. “Autistic License” is a very powerful production about autism and the family experience, written by Stacey Dinner-Levin, the mother of a son with autism.

The premier of Autistic License in ‘07 at the Illusion Theater received rave reviews by audiences and critics alike. Named one of the 10 Best Plays of 2007 and nominated for the national Theater Critics New Play Award, this beautifully written play so profoundly effected audiences that the Illusion theater brought this important work out to seven metro-area communities and schools during April 2008, Autism Awareness Month. It stands alone as an excellent piece of theater, not
simply of interest to those affected by autism or disability. The goal of the outreach tour is to provide families, friends, professionals, educators, law enforcement, emergency response personnel, and the community with the opportuntiy to develop an understanding about autism, in an effort to increase awareness and acceptance of those with autism as valued members of the community.

During the outreach tour last year, thousands of people in the Twin Cities (MN) area were able to experience this very powerful and entertaining production about a family and the journey with
their son. WWAACC believes it is important for residents of the Western Wisconsin and St. Croix Valley areas to have the same opportunity during the next outreach tour in April 2009
(Autism Awareness Month).
