ABOUT Eddie & Vinnie
By Jenny Millinger
Commissioned by Magik Theatre
Sponsored by Archpoint.
At its heart, Eddie & Vinnie is a buddy comedy about Eddie, a young boy with dyslexia, and his best friend/trusty sidekick, a quick-witted gecko named Vinnie. Eddie struggles with his schoolwork and faces the possibility of going to summer school if he can’t get his grades up. In a last-ditch effort to get on the honor roll, Eddie teams up with the overly helpful new girl in class to write their end-of-year report. It seems like Vinnie is always there to distract him or, is she really challenging him to lean into his uniquely beautiful mind?
