Uncommon Sense is a new play about life on the autism spectrum from the company that brought you The Laramie Project, Gross Indecency, and 33 Variations.

Travel with Dan, Jess, Moose, and Lali and their families and friends on their personal journeys, all inspired by interviews with real people living on the spectrum. This multimedia play reveals our universal challenges with “difference,” our desire to connect, and the lengths we will go for the people we love.

This production embraces all audiences, from those finally seeing their experiences reflected on the stage, to those peering into the autism world for the very first time.
