This production is an intimate experience for small audiences of twenty people per performance. Production dates for 2021-22 are to be announced.

Relaxed Performances
Tilles Center presents relaxed performances with modified sound and light levels, specially adapted pre-performance materials, and quiet lobby areas with sensory toys for patrons who wish to move around. These performances are “non-shushing” and provide a comfortable environment for individuals on the autism spectrum and those who may have limited movement, sensory and/or complex communication needs. Relaxed performances are open to all neurodivergent and neurotypical audiences and take place throughout the season as part of our Family Fun! series of performances.

Two relaxed performances will be offered in 2021-22:

The Underwater Bubble Show, Sunday, May 1, 2022 at 2pm

Stay tuned for the 2nd relaxed performance announcement!
