Though all families are welcome at all performances, the11AM Saturday sensory friendly performance will include some additional resources and accommodations, including a guide to visiting the theatre to help prepare children, lower sound level when needed, especially for loud or startling sounds, and house lights remaining on at a low level in the theatre during the performance.
Performed by the talented young actors of U of U Youth Theatre, The Stinky Cheese Man turns the tradition of the fairy tale on its head. With fun music and witty narration about the Really Ugly Duckling (who grows up to be a Really Ugly Duck), Cinderumplestiltskin, and other fairy tale favorites – not to mention the Stinky Cheese Man himself – this play will entertain and delight the whole family!
