(Sensory-Friendly) Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny

Cincinnati Arts Association is pleased to present this special sensory-friendly SchoolTime performance for guests on the autism spectrum, as well as those with sensory challenges or developmental disabilities.  

Goodnight Moon is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while The Runaway Bunny’s pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum.  Both feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security.  Mermaid’s staged adaptation brings a new sense of appreciation to stories that have delighted several generations.
