Minneapolis theater to present autism play
Mixed Blood Theatre presents “Theory of Mind,” a new play about a young man with autism, at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Weld Hall Glasrud Auditorium. The play is free and open to the public.
“Theory of Mind” is a sensitive yet unsentimental portrait of Bill, a college-bound 17-year-old with Asperger’s Syndrome. He is equipped with scholastic brilliance, but low emotional intelligence; keen self awareness, but an inability to read social cues; and a charming directness.
