Autism Speaks

WordTheatre's seventh annual Acts of Love in support of Autism Speaks will celebrate the Pioneers of our age, of bygone eras and of unknown futures; people who strike out into the unknown to see if there's a better way, a better place, a better future.

Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls.

Since its inception, Autism Speaks has committed an unprecedented $128 million in new research funding to uncover the cause(s), prevention, treatments and cure for autism, making it the nation's top private funder of autism research. They are not only dedicated to funding global biomedical research, but also to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder.

Acts of Love: Pioneers is produced and directed by Cedering Fox. Cast, ticket information and further details will be announced shortly.
