A Multi-Sensory Experience for Everyone

Riley’s Rain tells a multisensory story about a little lost raindrop in search for her friends up in the clouds – along the way, she meets a friendly Dragonfly, a song loving Tiger and an elusive Lilypad. Together, they go on a windy adventure in search of the great downpour!

An immersive experience from front-of-house to stage that had been specifically designed for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, sensory sensitivities, or other disabilities in mind.

Hear What Others Say

 

 

I observed that the special needs kids enjoyed interacting with other kids too. The show provided a framework and common experience which facilitated interaction with other children.
