TEN TIMES I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I WAS AUTISTIC Adds Performance at the United Solo Theatre Festival

Based on demand, Ten Times I Should Have Known I Was Autistic, a one man play, written and performed by Keith Varney (I Got Fired; SVU:The Musical) has added an additional performance. The show will now play Theater Row – Theater 1 on November 4 at 7:00PM and November 19 at 2:00PM as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival. Directed by Derek Roland (Time Step; This Is Modern Art), Ten Times…is executive produced by Liz Ulmer.

Keith should have known that he was autistic, but he didn’t figure it out until he had a divorce under his belt and a potbelly over it. Recounting ten obvious clues he ignored, Keith pieces together the ways that being a high-masking neurodivergent has shaped the course of his entire life – even if he was not-so-blissfully unaware of it.

Featuring revealing, comedic and potentially incriminating stories, Keith charts his autistic journey from an awkward and polarizing child to an awkward and polarizing adult. But at least now he has an excuse.

Ten Times features lighting design by Orrin Dow, sound and original music by Alexander Charles, technical direction by Michael Indeglio, associate direction by Jillian Louis (It Shoulda Been You), and Denise Wilcox is the Production Stage Manager.

“Discovering that I was autistic re-wrote the story of my life,” said Keith Varney. “The events stayed the same, but the context shifted. Writing this show has been a hilarious, heartbreaking and deeply freeing experience. I’m honored to get a chance to share my story – and dozens of incredibly embarrassing childhood photos.”
