Atypical Grace explores the challenges faced by parents of children with learning disabilities through the eyes of Marilynn, a compassionate support group leader. Written and performed by Maria Fagan Hassani, the show delves into themes of empathy, forgiveness, and the ongoing journey of parenting. As the diverse group navigates complexities related to ADHD, math, and reading difficulties, they discover the importance of community and understanding in their shared experiences. The performance will include a post-show Q&A for deeper engagement with the audience.
