Warped - Stage Left Theatre - LeapFest
directed by Jason Fleece
Two Chicago police officers give a ride home to a young, drunk twenty-something. Several hours later, the young woman emerges from her apartment screaming rape. Influenced by the film Rashomon, Warped presents the contradictory stories from each character’s perspective and asks the question: Is the truth constant, or is it as malleable as our own perceptions?

Echo - Uses video and audio to present the inner life of Abby
A Chicago (Edgewater) family believes they are witnessing a miracle: Their non-verbal autistic daughter (Abby) is “speaking” using a new communication method that requires a “facilitator” and letters on a keyboard. But in a few keystrokes, the miracle becomes a nightmare when the messages she types include shocking accusations.
Drawing from autistic individuals’ accounts of their environment, Echo is distinct in its presentation of the inner life of Abby. Throughout the play, the audience is secretly invited into Abby’s sensory perceptions and experiences first-hand her unique world.

Wendrow's Story
Both stories above show how complex autism is, how little we know about it, and how heart-breaking it can be for families who don't know whether to push further for their child or let things be.
