World of Wonder is a hip-hop musical that opens with the perfect family: two loving, successful parents with a daughter and a son. Their fairy-tale family is destroyed when their 2-year-old son, Noah, "disappears." He stops talking, won't look people in the eyes and doesn't wish to be touched. Jenny, Noah's older sister, takes us through the story as the family faces the diagnosis of autism and the challenges it brings. Jenny journeys into Noah's world and finds the courage and strength to understand and support his struggles. The family comes to understand that autism is not a death of dreams but another way to live and that Noah is different but not less.
Framed loosely by Alice in Wonderland, World of Wonder takes us on a musical journey and invites all to join the adventure and take the first step in understanding autism.
