Shakespeare’s beautiful play of love and magic is specially edited for an audience of children with autism.
Six actors take us on a journey of clowns, spirits, monsters and wizards on an island where nobody feels ordinary. In an intimate, interactive experience, young people are invited to join the actors, playing sensory games to help bring the story to life. Together they explore Shakespeare’s final play, using his rhythmic expressive language to create a unique experience for the children. The production is aimed at 8 – 16 year olds. Purchase tickets online at tickets.wexarts.org or contact the Patron Service Desk at Wexner Center for the Arts at (614) 292-3535.
$6 all audiences
Tickets for this production may only be purchased by groups that include a child with autism. Two companion tickets may be purchased with each ticket purchase for an autistic child.
