“God’s Middle Name is a mother’s journey through the uncharted territory of raising a child with autism. Employing episodic scenes and theatrical flights of fancy, the story provides a great deal of humour, both in the mother’s own approach to parenting, and in the child’s perception of the world around him. The play takes an honest look at the challenges and joys of raising an autistic child.” (From the CPO Website)
