Sensory Friendly Performance
March 6, 2 p.m.

This specialized performance facilitated by Seesaw Theatre in collaboration with Imagine U will provide a relaxed and safe environment for disabled audience members. This performance is open to all with an enhanced focus on theatrical accessibility.

Modifications to the experience include:

• A detailed social story will be sent to audience members the week of the show. This guide can help prepare your child for the experience of visiting the theatre and seeing The Ballad of Mu Lan. 
• Select changes to light and sound cues to minimize sudden changes and high-volume effect.
• A quiet space for audience members, if they need a break from the performance at any time.
• Theatre teaching artists with a background in theatrical accessibility will be present.
• Sensory kits (including items such as headphones, sunglasses, fidget toys, etc.) will be available to audience members upon request.

All audience members for this performance will experience this sensory-friendly performance. Fidget toys and communication devices will be welcome in the theatre.
