New Play, Body Awareness, Features Boy with AS

Debuting last night in New York City was a comedy called Body Awareness.  It stars actress JoBeth Williams who is part of a lesbian couple living in Vermont.  Her son faces social challenges but refuses to be diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.  He is friends with his electric toothbrush which massages his gums whenever he's stressed.  Mary McCann plays Williams' gay lover who is a psychology professor who has a Body Awareness program running that week at Shirley State College.  All fun and games in Vermont.

The play is at the Atlantic Theatre Stage 2 and runs until June 22.
