Tune to A 

Synopsis

Ava, the central character, is a 13-year-old with cerebral palsy and a love of music. After a series of attempting to play several instruments, Ava's contribution to the class is dismissed by her band teacher. With the encouragement of an ally, Jordan, and the confidence to use her voice, Ava's true talent is revealed at a time when it counts most. We want this play to inspire audiences to think beyond trying to fit differently abled bodies into our molds, and instead be open to creating new molds.
