FUN HOME (SENSORY FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE)
SENSORY FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE
- February 28
- 2 pm
- The Conrad Prebys Theatre at The Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center

FUN HOME
Relaxed Performances offer accommodations for people who benefit from a more relaxed theater-going environment —including but not limited to those with autism, sensory or communication disabilities, or developmental disabilities.
In order to make “FUN HOME” more accessible and comfortable, we will adapt the productions in the following ways:
- A Social Story Video given to patrons before the show to know what to expect at the theatre
- A welcome speech from the cast of “FUN HOME”
- Sound cues in the production will be lowered and any sudden, loud noises during the show will be modified.
- Lights in the seating area will be dimmed rather than fully dark during the performance.
- A relaxed atmosphere allows patrons to talk and vocalize as they wish, as well as leave and re-enter the seating area as needed.
- A Calm Corner will be available in the lobby with coloring sheets, fidget toys, and sensory items if patrons need to take a breather from the show.
- Fidgets and some noise canceling headphones will be available during the show. We encourage you to bring your own as well.
- A gender-neutral family restroom will be provided.
- No ‘Shushing’ during the show. We welcome everyone to enjoy the show in the way that is most comfortable to them.
Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score!
In the new year, Kym Pappas will direct the groundbreaking musical FUN HOME, which follows a woman, Alison, as she delves into her past and seeks to come to terms with the life and legacy of her father (who is exactly the same as her and still so different). This Tony-award-winning musical invites us as the audience to come to a fuller understanding of the journey of coming out and stepping into yourself.
