New York City’s Amanda Ladd stars in the European premiere of The Azure Sky In Oz, Yellow & Special, 2 alternating true-life theatre solo-shows written by Eugene O’Neill award winning playwright William Leavengood.
This show as developed at New Circle Theatre Company in NYC.
The Azure Sky in Oz, Yellow is about Michelle Feulner-Castro, a visual artist & mother to a profoundly autistic son.
The Azure Sky in Oz, Special is about Mary Tilford, a Special-Ed teacher who does The Wizard of Oz with her intellectually disabled students.
Both shows shine a light on & give hope in an often invisible population. Not just the neurodivergent, but the people who love, mother, care, & teach them.
This two pieces are meant to be seen together but they stand on their own as independent pieces of theatre. See one, or better see both! I have a morning performance & an evening performance so audiences can see both shows in one day.

SPECIAL had a lovely review from The Scotsman: “There’s a level of professionalism to Ladd’s performance here that’s rare on the Free Fringe. Her voice has the clarity of a bell and her folksy mannerisms and expressions feel authentic.”
