Puzzle Piece is for anyone who loves someone who has Autism, or anyone who loves great theater and has a heart.

Produced by 'A Place To Be' Music Therapy out of Middleburg, Virginia, and partnering with Autism Speaks (Light it up blue), 'Puzzle Piece' was created by music therapist and writer Tom Sweitzer. Tom has been sharing in the lives of hundreds of parents whose children have Autism and he was inspired by their powerful, dramatic, and sometime humorous stories.

'Puzzle Piece' takes us into the life of Paul and Marie Tate and their son Erik who has Autism. We learn about the patience, understanding and love that it takes to raise a child with Autism. They share their altered hopes and dreams with the humor and uncertainty every day brings when living with someone with Autism.

The show runs 50 minutes with no intermission. Filled with authentic storytelling, educational value and dramatic music, Puzzle Piece is for anyone who loves someone who has Autism, or anyone who loves great theater and has a heart.
