"Theatre is meant to be a place where everyone feels welcome." - Caissie Levy

After our Autism Friendly Performance of Ragtime last month, Tony-winning star Cassie Levy shared why these performances are so special and meaningful to audience members impacted by autism.

By making thoughtful adjustments like keeping the house lights up and lowering the sound, Autism Friendly Performances create a supportive and welcoming environment so everyone can enjoy live theatre in a judgment-free zone.

Ragtime kicked off TDF's 2026-2027 Autism Friendly Performances season, and we're so thankful to everyone who made this performance possible!
