What makes the performance autism-friendly?
To create an autism-friendly event, the show is performed in a welcoming, supportive environment for individuals with autism, sensory and communication disorders, or learning disabilities. Slight adjustments to lighting and sound are made for the performance. In the downstairs lobby, there will be a break area staffed by specialists in the field in case anyone needs to leave the theatre during the show. Downloadable resources, including a Visual Narrative with pictures of the theatre and the production, are available below.

We can make no assurances that this performance will be suitable for everyone with autism. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for their family’s viewing and engagement with the performance.

Content warnings:

  • During one scene, an actor aims and shoots a prop gun at the ceiling.
  • This show contains strong language, including profanity. 
  • Characters experience and discuss alcoholism. 
  • Characters die in the show, but death is not depicted onstage.
  • During a scene in which two characters are filming a movie, one slaps the other.
  • Those seated close to the action may be impacted by actors’ sweat and spit.

Venue warnings:

  • This musical is an immersive experience. There is some audience participation, and there will be actors performing in the aisles. Ushers will give warnings to stay seated and keep hands and especially feet away from the aisles.
  • Due to actor movement in the aisles, there is limited mobility throughout the theatre during the performance. To find seats that accommodate your party’s needs, we have created a system to determine the best match. When ordering tickets, please be aware of the theatre’s most/least flexible areas and select the seats that work for you based on the zone labels on the purchase page.
    • Least Flexible: Patrons need to remain in their seats for the duration of the show except for intermission.
    • Mid-Flexible: Patrons should remain in their seats for the duration of the show. However, if an urgent situation arises and someone in your party needs to leave the theatre, a member of the TDF team will escort you to a Break Area.
    • Most Flexible: Patrons are encouraged to remain in their seats for the duration of the show. However, the TDF team can help patrons access a Break Area when it’s safe to do so.
  • Actors move in and out of the theatre and lobby spaces throughout the performance. If you exit the theatre, you may be asked to wait to reenter for safety purposes.
