We knew there was Treasure in NYC, but now it's time to find presents in Winter Wonderland!
ADVENTURE IN WINTER WONDERLAND is a 45-minute multi-sensory, interactive theatrical experience specifically designed for people with developmental delays. We've created a safe space where five performers take a maximum of 7 "Junior Adventure Guides" on a search for holiday presents. We'll sing old songs, make new friends, and most importantly use our imagination!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SHOW
This 45-minute immersive musical is tailored completely to each participant's individual differences, giving them an opportunity to experience a live theater performance without the restrictive boundaries of a traditional show. There are no walls between the performers and the audience — all are invited to participate in the show through vocal and physical interaction, and are assigned a performer "buddy" who will stay with them through the entire experience. Our goal is to make theater accessible to anyone!
