In an engaging example of truly accessible theatre for young audiences, Balloonacy is a story of unlikely friendship. Set in the apartment of a lonely adult, the introduction of a balloon with personality proves to be too much for the grumpy, stuck-in-the-mud main character who tries to make the balloon go away. When it doesn't work and the balloon proves resilient, our hero slowly softens to the idea of having a friend, and suddenly we see the grumpiness fade away, and the power of simple non-judgmental presence and support to sweep to sweep away even the darkest of clouds on the rainiest of days. Uniquely suited for students in special education programs and non-English speakers, Balloonacy is highly engaging and entirely wordless.
