ONE BOY'S JOURNEY TO CHANGE HIS SCHOOL'S PERCEPTION OF THE AUTISM SPECTRUM
The new musical Talk To Me has book and lyrics by Charlie Sohne and music by Tim Rosser, the award-winning writers of The Boy Who Danced On Air. Talk To Me is a family musical about Graham, a 12-year-old boy on the autism spectrum who makes friends with the Siri app on his mom's iPhone. It's through his interactions with Siri that others are able to see another side to Graham -- allowing him to make new friends, gain a new level of understanding in his relationship with his mother and eventually change his entire school. Rosser and Sohne will present two songs from the show performed remotely.
Talk To Me was commissioned by the NY City Children's Theatre, was workshopped as part of Flint Repertory Theater's 2019 New Works Festival, and is currently being developed by NYCCT and the Abingdon Theatre Company.
