The Cultch has just announced that, in partnership with Rare Disease Foundation, it will stream Neworld Theatre's The Boy in the Moon live from the Historic Theatre May 6-9.

Written by Emil Sher and based on the memoir by Canadian journalist Ian Brown, the play tells a story about a family raising a child with a severe disability.

The Boy in the Moon is directed by Chelsea Haberlin and stars Marcus Youssef, Meghan Gardiner, and Synthia Yusuf.

“What I love about this play," says Youssef in a press release, "is that it is a deeply intimate, deeply personal story of a family dealing with a not completely unique situation—but a pretty extraordinary situation—raising their beloved son who can't communicate verbally, and barely physically. And the play doesn't shy away from their challenges.”

The play will be performed May 6-8 at 7:30 pm Pacific time, with matinees May 8 at 2 pm and May 9 at noon.

Single tickets starts at $29 and you can find them here.
