Theory of Mind at the Fringe from Mixed Blood Theatre on Vimeo.

Bill is a college-bound 17-year-old, equipped with scholastic brilliance but low emotional intelligence, keen self-awareness yet an inability to read social cues, and a charming directness yet prone to taking everything he hears literally. In this sensitive yet unsentimental portrait of a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome, Bill’s outing with a young woman becomes a memorable, insightful look at the tugs, shifts and about-faces found on the autism spectrum.

These rare public performances of one of Mixed Blood’s acclaimed touring shows exemplify the company’s commitment to using theater to address artificial barriers that keep people from succeeding in American society.
