Everyone is born with special needs.

What happens when the rules you live by no longer apply? When Evan Newton brings his girlfriend to the family’s Alaskan cabin to propose, her response sets him on an adventure to connect his past to their present. Evan's journey takes us into his unique world of autism, where events aren't sequential, labels get in the way, and well-defined family relationships are anything but constant.

Newton's Cradle challenges our own expectations about connection, integrating a fast-moving story with a hypnotic electronic score to create a musical unlike anything you've ever seen before: a melodic picture of a very special brain.

Music and Lyrics by Heath Saunders 
Book and Additional Lyrics by Kim Saunders
Directed by Tony Award winner Victoria Clark
