Aspie Works founder Justin Rielly’s new play A Different Normal had its workshop performance on June 18 at the MuCCC in Rochester, New York.

The play followed a group of young adults with Asperger’s syndrome, and what happened when a young woman who comes to the meeting recognized one of her co-workers in the group.  The cast featured Tom Bigongiari, Danielle Erway, Carl Girard, Susanna Guarino, Jolene Suchy-Dicey and Zak West, with the stage narration provided by Don Bartalo.

The play was preceded by a dance segment, “Passing,” conceived and performed by Laurie MacFarlane.

Aspie Works will return to the MuCCC for the 2014 Rochester Fringe Festival with Wallace Shawn’s solo play The Fever, to be performed on September 25 & 27.
