Also visit www.poac.net/play to learn more about our original pop opera, Day

After Day. It shows the everyday lives of the families of three children

with autism, each with a very different case. " Day After Day " is a serious

production. It is so good, that POAC has committed to taking it to an

off-Broadway theater in Manhattan. Tentative dates have been set for this

July in Massachusetts.
