Show Description

Big Umbrella Festival welcomes kids, teens and adults for a dynamic series of programming over three weekends, designed with and for neurodiverse audiences. Polyglot Theatre and Oily Cart present When the World Turns, an immersive theatrical experience that celebrates the senses, inviting audiences into a wondrous landscape of foliage, light, sounds and shadows. Peruvian theater company Teatro La Plaza reinvents Shakespeare’s Hamlet into a joyful and enigmatic production where the stories of people with Down syndrome take center stage. Young children and families are invited to explore, move and create with Second Hand Dance’s The Sticky Dance: For Sensory Groovers and at the participatory Magical Miniature World Workshop. Plus, the renowned ReelAbilities Film Festival—the largest festival in the world dedicated to films by and about people with disabilities—returns with a comedy night; and the Chamber Music Society offers two relaxed CMS Kids musical events, created for children with autism and sensory disorders
