Photo Coverage: ADDY & UNO Company Meets the Press!

The first family musical about disability, Addy & Uno, features concept and book by Nava R. Silton, Ph.D., music and lyrics by Bonnie Gleicher, and will be directed by the Emmy-nominated Donna Drake (John Tartaglia's ImaginOcean and Netflix's Julie's Greenroom). Addy & Uno runs August 28th-September 24th at The Theater at 14th Street Y (344 E 14th St)

Addy & Uno is a new musical about disability, bullying and friendship. As Uno, a child with autism, faces the challenge of competing in his school's math competition, his friends with varying disabilities - ADHD, visual, hearing and physical impairment - rally in support. Told through puppets, humor and unforgettable music, the show celebrates the abilities within disability, and inspires empathy and the understanding that it's "nice to be nice." The musical is an adaptation of the widely successful Realabilities Educational Comic Book Curriculum created by Nava R. Silton.

Addy & Uno features five characters with disabilities who harness their special strengths- associated with their disabilities- to save their school from bullies.
