Thank you to our friends at Northwestern University for letting us know about this upcoming sensory-friendly performance of GRACE and The Butterfly Effect! Details below!

Sensory-Friendly Performance
Sunday, November 8, 11 a.m.

This specialized performance, facilitated by Seesaw Theatre in collaboration with Imagine U, provides 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 Grace and the Butterfly Effect.

Select changes to light and sound cues to minimize sudden changes and high-volume effects.

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 headphones, sunglasses, and fidget toys) will be available to audience members upon request.

All audience members for this performance will experience it as a sensory-friendly event. Fidget toys and communication devices will be welcome in the theatre. If there is anything additional we can do to support you and your child’s experience for this performance, please reach out to us [email protected]
