While John is off on his family vacation, he left me here to write the shownotes and edit the audio for the first couple of our SETC 2010 shows.

We’re going to start things off with a bang:  Our good friend Gary Garrison, Executive Director Creative Activity for the Dramatists Guild of America.

Also, we have a new friend, Dr. Dale Savidge of North Greenville University.  He is researching (and ran an SETC workshop on) something near and dear to my heart, “How Theatre Might be Used in the Development of People with Asperger’s Syndrome“.

Some talking points:

• Temple Grandin
• Autism, The Musical
