* Annie (Special sensory friendly performance)

JUDGMENT FREE, SENSORY FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE OF ANNIE
 
The Arc of Opportunity in North Central Massachusetts in partnership with Theatre at the Mount announce a special engagement of the live musical, ANNIE on Saturday, December 6, 2014 at 2:00PM. The performance is designed specifically for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, sensory-processing disorders, anxiety or other cognitive or physical disabilities. At this unique performance, theatre lights will remain up, sound volume will be lowered, and patrons are free to talk and move around. There will be a designated quiet area adjacent to the theatre for patrons who need a break, and Theatre at the Mount staff will be trained to be inviting and accommodating to families' needs. The goal of this performance is to provide a judgment free, fun experience that is welcoming for all families.
 
If your child has trouble adjusting to new situations, a Social Story has been created to help prepare them for the event in advance. To obtain a copy you may visit the link below or call The Arc of Opportunity at 978-343-6662 to receive a printed copy of the Social Story.
