Obie Award-winning playwright Annie Baker's comedy Body Awareness tells the story of a psychology professor named Phyllis who lives in Vermont with her partner Joyce and Joyce's son from a previous marriage, Jared. Jared displays some symptoms of Asperger's syndrome but refuses to be examined by a therapist. When a photographer named Frank comes to stay with the women as a houseguest, he brings tension into Phyllis and Joyce's home and relationship. Body Awareness opened off-Broadway in 2008 to positive reviews, and now comes to the Twilight Theater Company in Portland.
