Playwright: Marc Littman

Director: Marc Littman

Logline: An autistic teen who thinks he’s broken is cast in a play and fixes the jaded director and his fellow actors, who are just as broken in real life as the characters they’re playing.

Synopsis: A jaded director and an ensemble of dysfunctional actors who play quirky characters are rehearsing a play about a brave teenage boy, Eddie, who has autism and who thinks he’s broken because he’s different. Between scenes, the actors try to fix the special needs teen who plays Eddie, mirroring what their characters strive to do; but it’s Eddie who fixes them in the play and in real life.
