Join us on Saturday, April 17 at 11AM for a Sensory Sensitive Performance of Pete the Cat at the CM Performing Arts Center!
This performance has been thoughtfully adapted in coordination with our Accessibility & Inclusion Consultant Dr. Dennis McElheron of DJM Consulting Services Inc., 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.

ABOUT THE SHOW
For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth.
But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!
Rated G
Run Time: Approx. 75 Minutes (Including a 15 Minute Intermission)
