Join the Chicago Children’s Theater for a sensory-friendly performance of Manual Cinema’s “The Magic City” on Feb. 1 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Access performances will take place:

  • Feb. 9 from 2 to 3 p.m. – Audio Description and Touch Tour (you must buy tickets two weeks prior to the performance)
  • Feb. 15 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. – American Sign Language (ASL) and Open Captions from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

The Magic City is a magical combination of actors, puppets, miniatures and live music. The story encourages kids to build bridges with family members and others, not walls.

In The Magic City, Philomena and her big sister, Helen, love building miniature cities out of books, toys and other found objects. Philomena’s adventures begin when she builds a magic city just for her and gets trapped inside one magical night.

Will Philomena find her way out and embrace her new family?

The performance is for children ages 7 and up.
