Minneapolis' Mixed Blood Theatre's production of Theory of Mind will have two performances during SWCC's Pay it Forward Week: Mon., April 18, 7 p.m., and Tues., April 19, 12 p.m. Both performances will take place in room 180 of the Instructional Center.
This sensitive yet unsentimental story, written by Ken LaZebnik, presents a portrait of a young man with Asperger's Syndrome. In the story, Bill is a college-bound 17 year-old, equipped with scholastic brilliance but low emotional intelligence; a keen self-awareness yet an inability to read social cues, and a charming directness, yet prone to taking everything he hears literally. His outing with a young woman becomes a memorable, insightful look at the tugs, shifts, and about-faces found on the autism spectrum.
This event is being brought to campus by Tracey Evans and the student activities department.
