After a lifetime of coping and wondering, dancer-choreographer Jenn Freeman was diagnosed with autism three years ago. This is her story.
The La Jolla Playhouse premiere of “Is It Thursday Yet?” is intended to be an illuminating work of self-discovery.The evening-length solo dance production, co-created and directed by the Tony Award-winning choreographer, tells the true story of Jenn Freeman, a 36-year-old New York-based dance artist who received a diagnosis of autism three years ago.
Freeman plans to share her own truth in two ways. First comes this month’s theatrical production of “Is It Thursday Yet?” at La Jolla Playhouse. Then, next year, a film documentary about her post-diagnosis journey will be released. The movie is being produced by Schumer and Fischer and is directed by Alexander Hammer.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one in 36 children in the United States is on the autism spectrum, a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that can cause a constellation of symptoms known to vary in type and intensity. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children receive autism screenings before the age of 2, and people with autism who are not diagnosed until adulthood often struggle with life and relationships.
