Navigated first theatre experience which was interesting in many way even though I was quite anxious about being on stage.

The play with catchy musical scores, features both autistic and non-autistic actors (I have a tiny part) and is written by my P.I Dr Blythe Corbett.
"The Adult School" from Sense Theatre Program was written by my P.I, Dr Blythe Corbett. And there are some catchy songs too. Sense Theatre is an NIH supported intervention research program for autistics.
The play is about a bunch of demotivated students (featuring both autistic and NT actors) who make sense of "growing up" when they cross paths with an inspiring teacher.
I'm in Dr Corbett's Sense Lab this semester and she asked me to take part. So I added lines for character I called "Harry" (but of course!!) into the play, in 3 of the scenes - to be spoken out. Speaking is still a work in progress and my voice is still too low to carry across a theatre. So Rachael Mustatello acted as my echo, and repeated what I say in a louder voice.
