Adapted Viewing for Local Elementary School Students
West Deptford High School organized an exclusively adapted viewing for students from Green-Fields Elementary School. This special arrangement allowed children with sensory issues to experience a live musical in a comfortable environment.
Sensory Needs Consideration
The production was tailored to meet the sensory needs of the audience. Precautions were taken, such as introducing the dragon puppet before the show to prevent surprises. Additionally, adjustments like strobe lights and fog machines were modified to suit the audience’s requirements.
Community Performances Information
While the exclusively adapted performance for Green-Fields Elementary School has concluded, the main performances are scheduled for March 15th-17th at West Deptford High School. Community members are encouraged to attend these shows to support the students and enjoy the musical.
