SUMMARY:Artist Residency
DESCRIPTION:YPT is working in partnership with the SickKids Family Programs team to design The YPT Reading Room Residency\, a series of weekly workshops focused on creative play for children from 0-6 years of age. This artist residency will consist of 45-minute sessions delivered weekly. Led by an YPT Resident Artist Educator\, each YPT Reading Room Residency session will explore a particular theme through reading\, dramatization\, song and craft making. The premise of each session will align with the hospital-wide themes set by the Family Programming staff.

The program is accessible to all children in the hospital including siblings of patients receiving treatment. Every session of the Reading Room is broadcast live on the hospitals closed circuit system allowing any child to watch and participate wherever they are in the hospital and regardless of their physical health or ability. \nTo read more about The Family Centre at SickKids read here: http://www.sickkids.ca/ProgramsandServices/centre-for-innovation-and-excellence/Family-Centre/index.html

SUMMARY:Relaxed Performance of Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang
DESCRIPTION: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.

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. \n\n“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!” \n    – Jan Fukumoto\,  Co-ordinator Autism Services\, Special Education\,\nToronto District School Board \n\nVisitors may find it helpful to watch this “Visiting YPT” video prior to attendance! \nIn order to book your tickets\, please call our Box Office at 416.862.2222. \nFor more information\, contact Lois Adamson\, Member Schools & Education Manager at 416.363.5131 x224 or email ladamson@youngpeoplestheatre.org.
