The Ararat Town Hall will host Robot Song, a 2019 VCE Drama syllabus production, later this month.
The production is based on writer/director Jolyon James’ experience being a parent of a child on the Autism Spectrum.
Ararat Rural City Council CEO Dr Tim Harrison said Robot Song sends a message about how we support, foster and celebrate difference in children in the face of an increasingly rigid and homogenised world”.

The show is described as an honest, intensely funny and often unconventional production that has been superbly crafted by its creators.
A must-see for young people growing up in a world where bullying is widespread but who need to understand that difference should be seen as an asset.”
