Autism: The Musical - Tonight on HBO at 8:00

Inspired by her work with her own autistic son, Elaine Hall decided to create a musical theater program that allows autistic children to express themselves creatively and interact socially. The result was the Miracle Project. Countering the bleak statistics regarding autism (one out of 150 children are diagnosed in the U.S.), the California woman pledged to lead a group of autistic kids in defying expectations by writing, rehearsing and performing their own full-length musical. This film follows five Los Angeles children and their families over the course of six months and observes how this musical production gives these young performers a comfort zone in which they can explore their creative sides. (TV14) ()

I don't have HBO and the friends who do won't be home to tape it. I

wonder if I'll be able to view it on the internet? I would think

maybe not as HBO is a channel which is " premium " and paid extra for,

at least it is in NJ. Sounds like it would be a wonderful show; I

wonder too, if more can be learned about the actors.
