Literature to Life: My Father's Dragon, FREE Sensory-Friendly Performance

  • Everett Performing Arts Center 2710 Wetmore Avenue Everett, WA, 98201 United States (map)

In collaboration with author in celebration of the Newbery Honor Book’ 70th Anniversary, Enchantment Theatre Company brings the three tales of My Father’s Dragon to life on stage. 

Pied Piper brings live theatre to children and their families in the greater Puget Sound area by hosting renowned theatre, dance, and music companies for public and school performances.

A visit to a Pied Piper production can be the beginning of a lifelong appreciation for the arts, and, because many of the performances are based on children's literature, Pied Piper also stimulates interest in reading, as it brings Literature to Life!

How is a Sensory-Friendly performance different?

A Sensory-Friendly performance is unique in a variety of ways, including:

  • Written resources and “social stories” are provided up front online and at the box office that help prepare children and their families for the performance ahead of time. 
  • It will be acceptable to stand, walk, talk or fidget.
  • House lights stay partially lit during the performance.
  • Audio cue volumes are reduced or eliminated.
  • Lighting effects that are strobe like, sudden or glaring are reduced or eliminated.
  • There is general admission seating, allowing the families to choose where they want to sit.
  • The generous seating at the Civic Auditorium allows ample space between audience members.
  • Designated “Away Space” for those who might feel overwhelmed and need a minute to self-regulate.
