‘Addy and Uno’: about children and autism

It’s nice to be nice. Come see “Addy and Uno” at the Theater at 14th Street Y Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 2 through Sept. 24.

“Addy and Uno” is a new musical about disability, bullying and friendship. As Uno, a child with autism, faces the challenge of competing in his school’s math competition, his friends with varying disabilities — ADHD, visual, hearing and physical impairment — rally in support.

Told through puppets, the show celebrates the abilities within disability, and inspires empathy. Run time is approximately 50 minutes – no intermission.

“Addy and Uno,” Saturdays and Sundays, 11 am and 1 pm, Sept. 2 through Sept. 24; tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
