Max Understood, is a "gorgeous and heartrending" new musical about a 7 year-old autistic boy and his journey beyond the confines of his parents' apartment to explore the beauty and mysteries of the world around him. Created by Michael Rasbury & Nancy Carlin, this musical drama, which was named Outstanding New Musical at the 2009 New York Musical Theater Festival, will premiere next April 2015 (World Autism Awareness Month) in San Francisco.
In tandem with Max Understood, the Paul Dresher Ensemble will premiere a new interactive sound installation by composer Dresher - Sound Maze for Max - specifically designed to accommodate people on the autism spectrum. Housing twelve oversized invented instruments, this installation will enable autistic children, teens, and adults to experiment with sound, light, and movement.
