Maine State Music Theatre is committed to helping young audiences experience the magic of theatre by providing Theatre for Young Audiences performances each season. However, a standard theatrical experience may not always be accessible for children with social, cognitive, or physical challenges. The sensory-friendly performance project gives the theatre the opportunity to demonstrate further its commitment to be an inclusive, supportive community providing theatrical experience for all patrons.

This summer MSMT presents a sensory-friendly 50-minute version of Robin and Clark’s “Jack and the Beanstalk” on Saturday, June 4, from 6 to 7 p.m. and Randall Frizado’s “The Very Fractured Tale of Robin Hood” on Saturday, July 16 from 6 to 7 p.m. at MSMT's Rehearsal Hall at 22 Elm St. Brunswick – a performance environment that is safe and accessible for children.

Admission is free, but space is limited so reservations are required. To reserve seats, visit msmt.org /sensory-friendly or call 207-725-8769.

The sensory-friendly performance program is supported by generous gifts from The National Endowment for The Arts, The Onion Foundation, The Anna-Maria Moggio Foundation, The Maine Arts Commission, & The Alfred M. Senter Foundation.
