Robot Song
Created by Jolyon James
Part of Winter/Spring 2026
You’re invited to an award-winning, visually dazzling celebration of creativity, difference, and the ways we can learn from one another. Inspired by writer/director Jolyon James’ experience parenting a child on the autism spectrum, this funny and deeply moving family show speaks to young people and adults alike.
The story follows eleven-year-old Juniper May, whose world unravels after her classmates declare her “the most hated person in the school.” Withdrawn and isolated, Juniper is saved when her desperate parents turn to an unexpected ally: a giant singing robot. Blending digital technology, animatronics, and a stunning original score, Robot Song is a joyful, uplifting reminder of the power of love and imagination.
Featuring post-show Q&As with the company after every performance.
To better support the needs and enjoyment of neurodiverse audience members, we are offering sensory-friendly performances on March 28 and 29 at 2pm.
Composed and Music Direction by Nate Gilkes
