JOIN STG IN PROVIDING A SENSORY-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE OF © Disney

Dear STG Supporter,

I am the mother of a 9-year-old son with Down syndrome. Watching musicals, plays, and dance performances is something that our family values. However, knowing that my son may not be able to sit through entire performances, or that noises made by my son would make us feel pressured to leave, I’ve been hesitant to spend upwards of $100 on a Broadway ticket. Last winter, I heard that STG was presenting a senso- ry-friendly matinee performance of THE LION KING and that the tickets were underwritten by generous donors to the affordable prices of $15, $30, and $50! I immediately purchased tickets.

On the day of the performance, we arrived at The Paramount Theatre with great anticipation and many reservations. I quickly learned that STG thought of EVERYTHING to make this show comfortable for families like ours: reduced sound, family restrooms, noise-cancelling headphones, fidget toys, activity zones, and a leniency to allow food, talking, and movement at seats. All was going well for my son and I felt like my bases were covered. Then, we went to take our balcony-level seats and as soon as we walked into the auditorium he stopped and said, “No.” I convinced him to go see our seats, but he said, “Too high.” I had no idea that seat location would be an issue! I shared our predicament with a volunteer and within five minutes we were moved to floor-level seats. I was shocked and delighted.

The opening scene started with the animals walking down the aisle and my son’s face lit up with delight! It was at that moment that I started crying. I was crying because attending a show like this with my son was something that I thought would not happen for many years, if at all.

I am writing this letter to express to you that these kinds of experiences are necessary, deeply appreciated, and only possible with our community’s support. I hope you’ll read my story and want to bring the magic of live theatre to everyone diagnosed with Down syndrome, autism, and other sensory sensitivities. With your support, STG will be able to present another sensory-friendly performance of a Broadway hit musical – Disney’s FROZEN – on Saturday, February 22, 2020 at the Paramount Theatre. Please consider making a donation today to give community members like my son and me the ability to create amazing memories. I promise you, every family in the theatre that day will have their own story like mine. Sincerely, What is a Sensory-Friendly Performance? A special live theatrical performance designed to be a supportive and judgment-free Rebecca Winters environment for those with sensory sensitivities, like autism, and their family and friends. Mother and STG Patron

YES! Scan Me! I will underwrite tickets to make live theatre accessible to those with sensory sensitivities! Donate Here: bit.ly/stgsensory SUPPORTERS of Seattle Theatre Group

Staffed by volunteers 30 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP Special Artistic Projects Manager STG at a Glance

One of STG’s core values is to serve as stewards of Seattle’s historic Paramount, Moore, and Neptune Theatres, and part of our commitment to keeping these spaces healthy and vibrant is to welcome a new generation of visitors and patrons to experience their magic firsthand. That’s why STG is proud to offer free Historic Theatres Tours, led by members of our well-versed volunteer staff.

“Over 450,000 patrons pass through the doors of The Paramount each year. These free tours give the public a chance to learn more about this historic Theatre while giving them a glimpse behind the scenes.” - Josh LaBelle, Executive Director of Seattle Theatre Group

Tours of the Paramount Theatre take place on the first Saturday of every month and guests should meet in front of the main entrance, on the corner of 9th and Pine. Tours of the Moore Theatre are the second Saturday of every month and guests should meet in front of the main entrance, on the corner of 2nd and Virginia. Neptune Tours are the third Saturday of every month and guests should meet in front of the main entrance, on the corner of NE 45th St. & Brooklyn Ave. All tours begin at 10 a.m.

Additionally, Seattle Theatre Group is able to schedule tours upon request for student groups ages 7 and up. This is an excellent way for students to experience the technical aspects of the stage, take a behind-the-scenes look at backstage operations, and get an introduction to the history of the building.
