Tickets: $10 General Admission
*60 min. Sensory-Friendly Performance.
Our friend and colleague, magician Kevin Spencer, was the artist who originally guided us toward presenting sensory-friendly events for kids with ASD and related conditions and their families. This season Kevin returns with his new, smaller magic show geared directly to that same audience. This performance will wrap up a week that Kevin will spend with us, spreading his arts-in-education approach, Hocus Focus, to kids, therapists, teachers and families. Keep an eye on this page and our Facebook page for further information on this week of activities. http://www.rvccarts.org/17/17Events/Youth&Family/170401KevinSpencer.html

"The experience for my boys was amazing. They were completely relaxed in such a very friendly atmosphere and with such a nice staff. I give the whole experience an A+!" – Marisa E.
At The New Victory Theater, we believe the performing arts should be for everyone. In partnership with Autism Friendly Spaces, we're thrilled to present a performance of Something that is accessible to individuals with ASD or sensory sensitivity. In Something, watch a troupe of seven skilled acrobats fuse circus, dance, physical theater and clowning into a singular, captivating performance that appears comically effortless. The special Autism-Friendly performance of Something is on Sunday, April 2 at 5pm.
To help prepare audiences for their visit to The New Victory, we've created support materials! A Social Story helps by providing a printable narrative that maps out what a trip to the New Vic is like and 360 degree tours are available to orient newcomers to our spaces. We'll even arrange a practice trip to Meet Your Seat in advance if requested! Act Guides (like this one for Something) and other illustrated visual supports will also be available. Learn more at NewVictory.org/Autism.
