The Words Will Come
A play about dyslexia, belonging, and finding your voice.

What if dyslexia were seen as creativity, not a deficit?
Every child deserves to be understood on their own terms. The Words Will Come is a movement-driven play that follows Sheila, a young person navigating a school system that misunderstands how she thinks, feels, and learns.
Rather than explaining dyslexia, the piece lets you experience it through sound, projection, movement, and design. Letters jump. Words hide. The world fractures and reassembles.
