Active EA volunteer Crispin Rodrigues is the producer of an upcoming play by Geraldine Song called Mosiac. Directed by Stephen Fernandez and produced by Crispin Rodrigues and supported by The Arts House, Mosaic is a tale of love, hope and charity that transcends beyond human limitations.

Synopsis:

Cedric Ho has Down Syndrome. Not the full-blown condition, but Mosaic Down Syndrome. A person with full-blown Down Syndrome has every single cell in his body affected with the extra 21st chromosome. Cedric, being a Mosaic has only a few cells afflicted. So it is not physically or visually apparent that he has the Down condition. Nobody knows. Or do they? Does it matter? And to whom?

A One Night Only performance on 5th April 2011 from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at The Playden, The Arts House, tickets are $26 each (including $2 ticketing charges) and are on sale at http://bytes.sg and The Arts House. Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the Down Syndrome Association.

For enquiries, please contact Crispin Rodrigues at 92203201 or via email at ravencrispin@hotmail.com for more information.
