10 Jan Telluride Adaptive Sports Program: “Sped Kid,” a One-Man Show, 1/18/25!
On Saturday, January 18, 2025, the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program (TASP) welcomes Adam Linn to town. Linn is the author of the novel “American Sexy,” and a contributor to the New York Times and to NPR’s “The Moth Radio Hour.” This promises to be very special performance of his award-winning, autobiographical, one-man show, “Sped Kid.” Show time is 7 p.m.
“Sped Kid” takes place at the Telluride Palm-Black Box Theater. Tickets are $40 in advance; $50 at the door. Students, $20. Go here to purchase your tickets.
In Adam Linn’s award-winning solo show “Sped Kid,” we follow 12-year-old Adam as his failing vision forces him to leave an all-white Catholic school and climb aboard a special education short bus for the long ride across town to an inner-city public school.
Cheer in triumph when Adam and his new friends overcome their challenges through their shared love of music and breakdancing. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and be inspired, as Adam’s in-your-face style of storytelling grabs you by the throat in the opening scene and refuses to let go until the very end.
“Sped Kid” is masterfully directed by the veteran New York director Padraic Lillis. Padraic was awarded Best Director at the United Solo Fest, the world’s biggest solo theater festival, for his directing of “Sped Kid” and Adina Taubman’s “The Road Back.”
“Linn’s storytelling is illustrative and expressive. He is genuine, witty, and full of love—especially for Prince,” Jaycie Buben.
