The Season

Caitlin is an 11-year-old girl on the autism spectrum. Not all things make sense to her. Emotions are mysterious and voices are almost always too loud. Suddenly, she must grapple with the unthinkable: a mass shooting has taken her brother away. He was the one person who helped her cope. Now she is alone with her grieving father and a cacophony of children at school. She struggles to understand empathy, what facial expressions mean, and why a drawing might have more than one color. We see the world from Caitlin’s point of view. We struggle as she does. We also take comfort in the times when she finds a friend, draws a multicolored mockingbird, and can finally cry for her brother. On-Demand viewing is available through March 15, 2021 only!

Florida Rep’s Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) series takes the arts directly into schools or invites students to the theatre! Each season, Florida Rep produces two TYA productions for students in grades K-8th grades which tour to schools across five counties in Southwest Florida.
