The musical that inspires kids of all abilities to dream and dream big!

Straight from off-Broadway, Farmers Alley Theatre is honored to be the first regional theatre to produce the family musical Addy & Uno.

As Uno, a child with autism, faces the challenge of competing in his school's math competition, his friends with varying disabilities - ADHD, visual, hearing, and physical impairment - rally in support.

Through puppets and soaring music, Addy & Uno is a heartfelt and hilarious journey celebrating hope, big dreams, and the beauty of differences perfect for the entire family!

Farmers Alley Theatre is proud to offer ASL Interpreted and Sensory-Friendly performances for Addy & Uno. For more information, please visit our accessibility page
