Insight-Special Ed Former Student Takes Center Stage In NYC Off Broadway Show & Pandemic Reflections

Adam Linn, author, actor and National Public Radio Contributor joins Mark to share insight on his new critically acclaimed production of ‘Sped kid’, an off Broadway production that’ll have you laughing so hard that you’ll pee a little.  Okay, maybe more then a little.  Sped kid recounts Adam’s experiences of going blind and leaving an all white Catholic school, becoming a special Ed kid at a mostly all black public school during the height of the racial tensions in Boston.  The play covers serious topics, but is fast paced and often comedic in tone with a lot of period music, Prince, Michael Jackson, Sugar Hill Gang, and others.
