Sensory-Friendly Performance
This performance of "Dream Big, Reach Far!" provides a welcoming, supportive, judgment-free environment for theatre-goers with autism, sensory processing challenges, and other social, learning, or cognitive disabilities. Modifications include relaxed house rules, reduced volume levels, house lights remaining on, and extra space for movement, and a designated quiet room.
If desired, please bring your own noise-cancelling headphones for this performance.
We can go anywhere and be anyone we want in our imagination! And lots of times, being able to imagine a new chapter in our life helps us make our dreams come true. Come join songwriter Joanie Calem for a program full of stories and songs that will take us on flights of fancy from our own imaginations and from favorite story books.
