When an experiment unexpectedly goes awry, a concoction of sneaky, sprightly L E T T E R S takes over a weird and wondrous science lab at The Children's Theatre Company's latest show, “Babble Lab!”
This performance is written as a “You be You” theatrical event for children and families, with an eye on the needs of ASD audience members.
@childrenstheatremn has built the sensory considerations into the technical elements of this show, but the show is written as less of a narrative to sit and follow and more of an abstract discovery adventure.
Children and families can take breaks and come and go as they need to without being lost in the story when they return. And the energy of the show supports all the verbal and physical reactions that we love their audience to give! Jumping, shouting, spinning, all responses are welcome, and make the interaction of the show so unique and fun to perform.
Most importantly, @childrenstheatremn wants ASD families and audiences to know that there is no wrong way to experience “Babble Lab,” so come exactly as you are and join the adventure!
'Babble Lab' is on stage now through April 14. Get your tickets today at www.childrenstheatre.org/babble
