Autism Speaks has partnered with Broadway In Boston and Disney Theatrical Productions to provide a unique theatre experience for individuals and families impacted by autism. This autism-friendly performance of Disney's The Lion King will happen in a supportive, judgment-free environment and will include slight adjustments to the production to suit the needs of the audience—such as the reduction of any jarring sounds or strobe lights focused on the audience. In addition, there will be other accommodations of support, including a quiet area if individuals and families need a break from the experience and trained staff and volunteers to assist with patrons' needs.
