A Grand Slam in District A on APRIL 19, 2009
We had standing ovations and standing room only at ballet tech cincinnati, when Playhouse in the Park came off the hill to present “Theory of Mind” in District A.
“Theory” delighted the 99 residents and visitors of all ages and abilities who filled ballet tech, at 6546 Montgomery Road, and could stay for Q & A with the actors until an open jazz jam capped off the evening.
The play introduced us to a high-functioning autistic teenager on a very well-planned first date that defied his best efforts to make it perfect.
Our ushers were members of the Teen Council at Pleasant Ridge Recreation Center, and our audience included the directors of four agencies that serve special-needs teens and young adults. We enjoyed an exhibit wall of art created by autistic teens including some teen artists who came to see the show.
What did the audience think? They asked for more events like this and more theatre in District A.
Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the show and all those who made this first-ever community partnership with Playhouse in the Park such a great success.
