TAMPA THEATRE PRESENTS WRETCHES AND JABBERERS
Tracy Thresher and Larry Bissonnette, both autistic, are limited in their ability to communicate. Without words, they find that typing is the best outlet for getting their message across. More than 10 years after starting their autism advocacy, they make their message global with the documentary Wretches & Jabberers - a personal portrait of their travels to Sri Lanka, Finland and Japan, where they aimed to change people's perspective about disabilities and intelligence. Immediately following the showing, Academy Award-winning director Gerardine Wurzburg will lead a 30-minute Q&A with Thresher, Bissonnette, The National Center on Inclusive Education's Mary Schuh, and 13-year-old Tampa autism advocate Henry Frost. - Kelsey Sunderland.
