C.J.D. is a story of human suffering and transcendence, full of interesting science, all told in a multi-mediated-piano-playing bit of agit-prop silliness with the best of intentions by a neurologist-playwright. In the vernacular of Hollywood: “it’s Spalding Gray meets Oliver Sacks meets The Onion meets Bill Nye meets Laurie Anderson meets Anton Chekhov meets The Daily Show meets a geeky Secular Humanist National Academy of Sciences Drug Rep Dinner….”

CAST
James Jordan

"Jordan, the sole performer and himself a neurologist in residence at Case Western's University Hospitals of Cleveland, is a zany guy who is able to transition between silliness and sincerity with ease." nytheatre.com
