On Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 11am, minor production changes will make the Blue Man Group show more sensory-friendly, including the reduction of sound and light levels at select moments along with a social story available here. In addition, audience supports will be in place, including:
Headphones available
Trained volunteers
Calming area
Judgment-free environment
Blue Man co-founder Phil Stanton: "We've heard from many families affected by autism that their children responded to the Blue Man character in a very moving way. We don't know the exact reason. We can only speculate that it has to do with the Blue Men communicating in their own unique way — non-verbally, through visuals, touch and sound."
All tickets to the 11am June 20, 2015 performance are offered at a discounted rate with Blue Man donating $5 of every ticket to Autism Speaks.
Purchase tickets here. Click on "find tickets" and enter the promo code AUTISMSPEAKS. Groups of 15 or more, please call (617) 542-6700.
