Good afternoon,
The Munroe-Meyer Institute is pleased to be working with Omaha Performing Arts on a very exciting performance this spring. They are proud to partner with Disney Theatrical Productions for a sensory-friendly performance of Disney’s “The Lion King” on Saturday, April 25, 2020, at 2 p.m., at the Orpheum Theater, 409 S. 16th St., Omaha, NE 68102.
This presentation and others like it continue to provide families with members on the autism spectrum, or who have other sensory sensitivities, the opportunity to experience a Broadway production together. Slight adjustments to the production will be implemented, including low house lights, exclusion of strobe lighting, and softened sounds. Specially trained volunteers will be available throughout the Orpheum Theater to provide audience support, and the lobby will offer quiet spaces and activity areas for families. Attached is a performance flyer.
Special complimentary seats for this sensory-friendly performance are available for individuals with sensory sensitivities and their families. There will be a 4-ticket limit per household. We will have a limited number of sensory bags available (includes a Gidget Widget cube, wristbands, sunglasses) and encourage you to bring your own.
Please follow this link and fill out the information for your ticket reservation by Dec. 5.
Sincerely,
The Munroe-Meyer Institute
