Sensory Inclusive: The Gruffalo’s Child
2025-02-23 14:00 (America/New_York) | Victoria Theatre, 138 N. Main St., Dayton, OH, 45402, United States
In this sensory inclusive performance, you can expect a reduction of loud or jarring sounds, the absence of flashing or strobe lighting on stage, modification of house lights during the performance, and a judgment-free environment where all patrons are free to vocalize or move around the theatre. There are trained staff members at the performance to help with any questions or needs during your visit. At no time will anyone be asked to leave the performance due to vocal reactions, movement, or behaviors related to cognitive or developmental abilities.
Follow the Gruffalo’s Child on her adventurous mission in London’s Tall Stories Theatre company’s enchanting adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. One wild and windy night, the Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and tiptoes out into the night. She follows snowy tracks and encounters all sorts of woodland creatures, including a debonair snake, an eccentric owl, and a cunning fox. But the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist, does he? Join the Gruffalo’s Child on her brave adventure and let your imagination run wild with songs, laughs and scary fun for everyone!
It is our hope that this production will make attending the theatre an accessible and enjoyable experience for all.
