Tiny Music is an original "sound design musical" loosely adapted from
Shalom Aleichem's short story The Fiddle. The piece centers around a 28
year-old, high-functioning autistic man whose sensory-processing
disorder causes him to experience the sounds around him as music.

Tiny Music is about individuality and responsibility - what it means to
make good choices when what (or who) you love hurts people in your life.
It's about what it means to be Jewish - what it means to be spiritual at
all - in secular Canadian culture. Most of all, it's about the
inevitability, the inexplicable holiness, of music.

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity
members cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of
contract. CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the
audition.
