SPACE!
Description
Written and directed by Jon Ludwig
People of Earth, prepare to be amazed! Blast off with an alien rock-n-roll band on a galactic journey of discovery. Learn out-of-this-world facts about planets, stars and meteors, gaze at Saturn's rings with Galileo, and rock out on the asteroid belt. This original musical is a fun-filled exploration of the final frontier!
This special afternoon will allow guests with autism spectrum disorder to experience a sensory-friendly performance of SPACE!, 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 Extraterrestrial Hand Puppet to take home.
