NOTHING, Play About Autism, Coming to The Tank

United Productions will present the limited run of award-winning play Nothing by Nic Balthazar September 15 through 17, 2016 at The Tank (151 West 46th Street, 8th Floor).

Inspired by true events, Nothing is a multi-media production featuring Ben, a young wordsmith/technology enthusiast with autism. Using poetry, music, and video, Ben shares his story of meeting "Barbie" in a divine online connection, standing up to his high school bullies, and finding ways to fit into a "normal" world.

Jon Kovach (4000 Miles, Playhouse in the Park; The Ides of March) stars as Ben. The production is directed by Chelsea D. Harrison and features music by Cincinnati's Walk the Moon.

Nothing is based on Nic Balthazar's novel Nothing Was All He Said, which was inspired by a newspaper article about a young man with autism. Since the book's publication in Belgium in 2002, it has been adapted for stage in five countries, and twice for the screen, including 2007's Ben X. This production of Nothing has won awards at the Cincy Fringe, United Solo (NYC) and the San Diego Fringe Festival.

Performances of Nothing run September 15 through 17, 2016; Thursday through Saturday at 7:00 pm at The Tank (151 West 46th Street, 8th Floor; between Avenue of the Americas and 7th Avenue; Subway: N/R to 49th, 1/2/3 to 42nd, B/D/F/M to 42nd). Tickets are $15 and may be purchased in advance at www.BrownPaperTickets.com or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
