OT: Phila. area ASD boy in Shakespeare Play

[Guest guest]

For those in the Philadelphia area:

My son Adam

will appear as Prince Mamillius in

Shakespeare's " The Winter's Tale "

Mon-Fri Sept. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 at 7:30 PM and

Mon-Fri Sept. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 at 7:30 PM

at Murrell Dobbins CTE High School

2150 West Lehigh Avenue

Philadelphia, PA 19132

Adam just turned 8 and this will be his first stage performance outside of

preschool and elementary school.

He will not stay for curtain call Mon-Thurs but may be present at the end

on Fridays. I haven't told anyone in the play of his

disorder, but the director has probably guessed. It's a small part and Adam

was the only boy the right age who tried out.

There is parking in the school parking lot as well as in the shopping

center parking lot across the street on Lehigh between 21st and 22nd St.

PUBLIC TRANSIT:

Murrell Dobbins at the corner of 22nd St. and Lehigh and is easily

accessible from center city via the 33 bus in about 1/2 hour.

You can get the 33 bus on Market Street between 2nd Street and 13th Street

and from JFK Blvd from 15th St. to 19th St.

It goes up 19th, 21st, and then 22nd St. so you can get off right at the

corner of 22nd and Lehigh, then go around to the front of the building.

The 33 bus returning to center city stops at the Variety Store diagonally

across the street. Adam and I took the bus a few times

when my car was in the shop so we know first-hand. The bus driver who

leaves 15th & JFK at 6:07 PM and arrives at 22nd & Lehigh at 6:32

was particularly pleasant and remembered us and what our stop was.
