Step into the world of "Wonder Boy," a startling new play from writer Ross Willis that follows Sonny, a 12-year-old grappling with a speech impediment within a struggling school system. Living with a stammer has left Sonny hiding in silence. His only friend is an imaginary comic book hero, Captain Chatter, who is always by Sonny's side.
