"Andy and the Beats" is about acknowledgement, hope, courage, strength, and endurance in a world that doesn't always acknowledge the significance and depth of Type 1 Diabetes.
This show is about Andy, a young seemingly healthy boy, who gets diagnosed with chronic illness known as type 1 diabetes. With the help of the Beats, the magical narrators of this story, Andy learns about the up's and down's of this disease... the hardships that he has to overcome... and the understanding that he is not alone in his fight to cure a complicated disease.
Andy Rogers is a graduate of The University of Tennessee where he attained a B.S. in Biochemistry, Molecular, and Cellular Biology with a minor in Theatre Arts. He is the creator of "Andy and the Beats," a combined arts and science project turned into type 1 diabetic advocacy platform to educate the community at large about the social of physiological ailments of living with this disease.
