Apathy Boy

"What part of 'I don't care' don't you understand?" he says in a measured tone, as he gives that signature "Whatever" shrug. It's Apathy Boy. Yay.

In a world that cares too much, Apathy Boy is really good at saving himself. In an alternate world, a high school boy with high-functioning autism tells Apathy Boy's story as he draws it into life. As these worlds collide, a hero meets his maker, and nothing will ever be the same.

This dramatic comedy is told onstage in multiple dimensions, with three live actors playing over twenty roles as they interact with video and animation design by Alex Lee.
