Special Events

Join us at The Encore for a special “Thoroughly Friendly” performance of ANNIE!

Thursday, December 12 at 3PM – ALL SEATS $20

What does “Thoroughly Friendly” mean?

This sensory-friendly, or “relaxed” performance, is specifically designed for audience members who may benefit from a more accommodating theater environment. Adjustments will include softer lighting, lower sound levels, and a flexible, welcoming atmosphere where movement and vocalizations are embraced. Audience members of all ages, including individuals with autism spectrum conditions, sensory sensitivities, or dementia are invited, along with their care partners, to experience Annie in a comfortable and supportive setting.

This special performance is made possible by a grant from the Dexter Community Fund, with additional support from 5 Healthy Towns and in partnership with Busch’s Fresh Food Market, The Alzheimer’s Association,  Dementia Friendly Saline, The St. Louis Center for Cognitive Health in Chelsea, and The Disability Network Ann Arbor.

Tickets for this unique experience are $20 and can be purchased by calling or visiting the box office Tuesday-Friday from 10AM-2PM: 7714 Ann Arbor Street, Dexter | 734-268-6200.

For those with dementia or Alzheimer’s, tickets are available at no cost through a partnership with the Bruce H. and Rosalie N. Rosen Family Foundation and the Alzheimer’s Association Michigan Chapter. To reserve, contact Kayla Jakel at 248-996-1056 or kjakel@alz.org by December 6.
