Cardinal Theatre opens “Soundscapes” this weekend

Clarinda High School’s Cardinal Theatre opens its fall production, Soundscapes, this weekend in the high school auditorium.

Director Joy Tunnicliff, in her second year leading theater and large-group speech, said the show follows high-school artist Iris, who has synesthesia—a perceptual phenomenon in which she sees sounds as colors. At first she assumes everyone experiences the world the same way. As she realizes they don’t, she navigates what it means to be different, with help from family, classmates, and a new friend who shares the same experience.
