Squirrel Suit Productions

Neuro-DIVE! (New Performance!)

The audience is invited to dive inside a fantastical brain with Dina (The Dopamine Receptor). A charming and dedicated Tour Guide, Dina stays positive about her new overwhelming job on the “Brain Base”. She shows us all around the lobby, busy, overflowing mailroom, shallow dopamine river and secret passageways. We’ll meet other characters like “The Judge”, “The Boss”, “The Mascot”, similar to a neurodivergent INSIDE OUT. The audience will be a part of helping each character move through a challenge to self discovery. As things naturally start to go awry, students (and even willing teachers) will join the stage and the mayhem! Throughout the hilarious chaos, we’ll learn about our brain and explore how we can make the world a little bit more comfortable for all the different types of brains out there. Maybe we can leave being a little gentler and more proud of our own brain.

The ADHD Project

From her diagnosis and placement in a segregated classroom to navigating her “superpower” now as an adult, this is an intimate and honest journey exploring ADHD and celebrating neurodiversity. Welcome to Carlyn’s world of chaos, creativity and combat within her mind!
