    Jewish Plays Project selected GIDEON GOES ON A FOREVER TRIP as a Semi-Finalist out of 270 plays in our 2nd Ten Minute Play Contest “On One Foot”, which searched nationally from artists of all backgrounds to respond to our prompt “Moving Forward at the Edge of the Unknown”. Our readers connected with this response to a near future where such a government registry for autism leads to a dystopian nightmare. This piece creates suspense and dramatizes the leap of courage it requires to take risks.

    There's a tenderness to Chana and Isaac's panic that cuts deep. Gideon himself is aware big change is coming but cannot fully grasp the enormity of his situation. A tragic but inspiring piece that speaks to the importance of resistance, care, and family that accepts the entirety of you.
