Inspired by the original characters of the children’s play, Don’t Worry Willy by Author, Playwright, and Founder of the Don’t Worry Willy Foundation, Liz Unaeze, Don’t Worry Willy Weekend expands beyond a theatrical performance into a full day of education, creativity, and advocacy.
The experience includes a live performance of the play Don’t Worry Willy The Musical, sensory-friendly spaces, a family resource fair, informational panels with experts, creative activities, and plenty of opportunities for families to connect with community partners.
