Unusual Theater

Tuesday morning at 10 may seem like an odd time to see a play. But it just may be the best hour to catch the world premiere opening today at the Coterie Theatre (2450 Grand). At press time, some of the weekend evening performances of Atypical Boy were already sold-out. Like most Coterie productions, this one is geared to younger audiences. But anyone who has ever felt out of place should be able to relate to playwright Laurie Brooks’ story about a boy with invisible disabilities. The performance is also interactive: Toward the end of the show, the actors will seek advice from the audience. Call 816-474-6552 for tickets.— Crystal K. Wiebe
