When a young couple’s son is diagnosed with autism, they grapple with the extraordinary challenges that follow. Conflicting medical opinions and an abundance of inconsistent information might be the least of their challenges. As they struggle to accept and understand their son’s condition, they discover life’s more ordinary issues won’t wait. Joint Attention explores the pitfalls of a still poorly understood condition and the dedication and determination required to address it.

Featuring Catherine Dildilian,  Nick Strauss,  Molly Bunder,  and Valerie Gorman

Stage Managed by Grace Allen, Set Design and Lighting by Pat Henderson, Costume and Prop Design by John Buranosky, Graphic Design by Rob Dorn, and Original Music by Gary Gimmestad

 

0Three Cat Production’s Joint Attention is part of Chicago Artists Month 2013, the 18th annual celebration of Chicago’s vibrant art community presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.  For more information, visit www.chicagoartistsmonth.org.

 headshot 1_1Pat Curtis, Playwright

Pat Curtis is a Network Playwright at Chicago Dramatists. The inspiration for Joint Attention came from her work as a school psychologist, where she encountered families dealing with the devastating effects of autism and was touched by their heroism and determination in seeking treatment for their children. The play was part of the 2013 Chicago New Work Festival. Curtis’ 10-minute comedy, Sibling Ribaldry, was part of the “Best of the Tens” Second City showcase in November 2012.
