Fine, we've reached 1967 in the story, so here he is! And damn, doesn't he sound good?

When I was a kid, my parents took me to the theater a lot. As a mom with a child on the autism spectrum, however, it's been hard to share my love of the theater with my daughter. So imagine my delight when I heard that Raleigh Little Theatre was collaborating with Arts Access to do a sensory-friendly performance of Alice @ Wonderland. To think that a community theater here in the Triangle was making theater accessible to special needs kids was just, in the words of the young Alice herself, awesome.
