Relaxed Performance of Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang

These performances are specifically designed for young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Relaxed performances may include adjusted sound and lighting levels, a designated relief area outside of the Mainstage theatre, and additional support before and during your visit. When we held our first relaxed performance in the 2014/15 season, we learned a great deal about how small changes and additions to the resources and environment provided can have a big impact. YPT’s relaxed performances are geared toward young people with ASD, but are also suitable for all young audiences and can be an especially good introductory experience for first-time theatregoers.

“I would like to thank YPT for taking on this initiative. At the relaxed performance I attended, it was very exciting to see the kids and staff engage in such a safe and supportive environment. The thought and time put into the accommodations for those in the audience with ASD was very impressive. Parents and teachers bringing children with ASD to these performances should feel very confident that their experience will be very positive. This programming is an incredible opportunity to support all kids in the way that all kids need to learn!”
