Come See My Show, "RETARD!" This Saturday

The word "amazing" is tossed around much too easily but I will stake whatever reputation I have in saying that the story of Jeffrie Givens and me is amazing. No Hollywood filmmaker would make the movie because it's so improbable. Yet it's absolutely true.

I'm so moved by her story, our story, that I created a play starring her (with me in a secondary role) to tell the tale. We do so with story and song.

A Taste of "RETARD!" 

Every performance of "Retard!" has received a standing ovation . 

We perform the show every few months. The next performance is THIS Saturday, June 13, 2015 at the Berkeley Arts Festival. 2133 University Ave. Berkeley, CA.

Doors open at 7:30 and the show begins at 8:00 and is over at around 9:45. 

Admission to this performance is free. 

If you'd like to come, please RSVP me at mnemko@comcast.net.

An Autistic Person Performs

The latest show I've co-written with Jeffrie Givens is "Retard!" It tells her story from when she was called retarded by both children and her school to today, when she has been diagnosed with autism.

I've been her career coach and musical performance coach and here is a sample from the show.  I accompany on the piano.  

I haven't yet figured out how to keep the video from rolling over to my previous videos. So, after you've watched this, you may want to press "Stop."
