Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at 7:00 pmYukon Theatre

Drawing from her own experiences growing up with a sibling with ASD, Connie Cocchia creates a clear-eyed depiction of autism’s impacts on an individual and their family. Rather than crafting a scrappy underdog story about an overachieving member of the autism community with savant qualities, When Time Got Louder offers a deeply moving story about good people simply trying to do their best—and just how hard that can be.

Leaving home for university, Abbie thrives as she experiences independence and self-actualization. However, she’s tormented by the knowledge that her brother Kayden, who has autism and is non-verbal, is reeling in her absence and pushing her parents to their limits. While home for the holidays, Abbie faces the impossible decision between returning to Karly, the woman she’s fallen for, or providing Kayden the support he seemingly desperately needs.
