Rhonda Badonda:
The Adventures of a Girl with a Pain in Her Brain

Written & Performed by Rhonda S. Musak
In conversation with Gareth Hendee & Valerie Dejean

When your brain won’t cooperate, you have to get creative.

Sensory Processing Disorder, On the Spectrum and Autism are extremely familiar buzz words these days, but what is it like to actually have one of these processing disorders? Rhonda Badonda not only answers that question “with glowing wit and humor” but is also a compelling story of hope centered around a medical mystery.

Rhonda will share selected scenes from her solo show while in conversation with both the show’s director Gareth Hendee and a leading expert in brain function Valerie Dejean. The discussion will focus on Rhonda’s experiences handling the hidden learning disability that affected her life since childhood along with her discovery of the Tomatis Method, a sound-based treatment that incorporates the music of Mozart. The listening sessions, which she began ten years ago and continues to this day, calm her brain and helps her restart her thinking when things stall. Using this therapy, Rhonda is able to function… and thrive.

“Beautiful…a credit to the solo show format. Rhonda Musak…fills the stage with motion and personality. She slips into her many characters with ease…lovingly crafted and portrayed…a story she tells with glowing wit and humor. Rhonda Badonda shines in its expression of the beauty and strangeness of the mind.”
