Sensory Inclusive: Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny
2025-03-30 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.
GOODNIGHT MOON is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while THE RUNAWAY BUNNY’s pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum. Both feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security. Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s staged adaptation brings a new sense of appreciation to stories that have delighted several generations.
It is our hope that this production will make attending the theatre an accessible and enjoyable experience for all.

2025-03-30 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
March 15–June 8, 2025
A distinguished figure in contemporary art, Jamie Wyeth is recognized for his fiercely independent, realistic approach to art. This exhibition follows Wyeth’s entire career and looks at a specifically darker thread within his oeuvre of troubling and unnerving imagery. Unsettled is divided into three distinct sections: “Strangers and Specters;” “Natural and Supernatural Worlds;” and “Haunted Places and Disturbing Spaces.” Drawn from museums and private collections from across the country, the DAI is the exclusive Ohio venue and the final stop for this major traveling exhibition. Organized by the Brandywine Museum of Art.
