    We are thrilled to introduce you to Untitled Oz Project, a loosely biographical new play by William Meurer, a queer and neurodiverse playwright and performer based in Manhattan, that centers on a young man with undiagnosed autism who has just been kicked out of his home for being queer. And in the middle of all that upheaval, he turns to the one constant that's never let him down: his lifelong special interest in The Wizard of Oz.
