So, on this past Sunday, October 2nd, my wife took my daughter to see The Lion King on Broadway. Now, there is nothing all that exceptional about that, except that this was a special showing of the play organized by the Theatre Development Fund, the folks who run the TKTS discount ticket booths in New York, which offer tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals and plays at up to 50% off.
So, this special showing was an autism friendly presentation, one that involved a number of accommodations and modifications for a very special audience. Here is the report that aired on MSNBC, describing the event, and featuring one of my daughter's classmates, Evan:
All told, four families from my daughter's school, and a great many more from the North Jersey area, were in attendance, and made up a very appreciative audience. Much thanks goes out to the Theatre Development Fund for its progressive work towards inclusion, and for a truly gracious bit of noblesse oblige!
