The 3 Little Pigs & More
Description
By Grey Seal Puppets of Charlotte, NC
Fantastic folk tales from around the world come to life with a menagerie of zany characters and a variety of puppetry styles! Featuring The Frog Prince from Germany, Three Billy Goats Gruff from Scandinavia, and The Three Little Pigs from England. Hailed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution for a “quick-draw wit…as colorful as his puppets,” solo performer Drew Alison returns to the Center’s stage with this perennial favorite.
This special afternoon will allow guests with autism spectrum disorder to experience a sensory-friendly performance of The 3 Little Pigs & More, as well as a sensory-friendly Create-A-Puppet workshop.Several alterations will be employed in the theater to create a comfortable setting for guests with ASD, such as a pre-show demo, lights on (but dimmed) inside the theater, consistent sound levels and lower volume of the show soundtrack, freedom for children to talk and to leave their seat if necessary, a quiet zone in the lobby, and permission for guests to bring quiet, contained snacks and beverages to enjoy during the performance.
In the Create-A-Puppet Workshop rooms, there will be less sensory stimulation, and the Teaching Artists present will have been trained on how to best interact with guests with ASD.
Tickets include the sensory-friendly Performance and the Create-A-Puppet Workshop where visitors can make their own friendly Little Pig Hand Puppet to take home.
