Join us on Sunday, January 24 at 6PM for a Sensory Sensitive Performance of Jesus Christ Superstar at the CM Performing Arts Center!
This performance has been thoughtfully adapted in collaboration with our Accessibility Coordinator, Christine Kerimian-Fitzgerald, to create a welcoming and inclusive experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities, along with their families, friends, and caregivers. Our goal is to create a theatre environment where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and able to enjoy the performance in their own way.
For this performance, the following accommodations will be in place:
• Lower Sound Levels
Volume levels will be reduced throughout the performance to provide a more comfortable listening experience.
• Gradual Lighting Changes
Lighting transitions will be softened and extended to avoid sudden shifts. Guests who are sensitive to light may wish to bring sunglasses for additional comfort.
• Content and Sensory Advisories
Announcements will be made before moments that may feel intense or overwhelming. Guests are always welcome to step out of the auditorium at any time and visit our breakout room, where the performance will continue on a TV screen, and return whenever they feel ready. As part of our commitment to creating sensory inclusive environment our breakout room is available for ALL performances at our theatre.
• Preparing for Your Visit

ABOUT THE SHOW
What’s the buzz? The first musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.
Rated PG-13
Run Time: Approx. 1 Hours and 35 Minutes (Including a 15 Minute Intermission)
