Photo Flash: Chicago Chidren's Theatre Presents X-MARKS THE SPOT

Mom! Dad! Chicago Children's Theatre invites you and your kids to X-Marks the Spot, an all-new form of "X-Tra Sensory Theatre" inspired by children who are visually impaired, but created for all audiences.

That's right. Close your eyes. Because X-Marks the Spot: An X-Tra Sensory Xperience uses sounds, voices, tastes, and touchable, scented props to create an all-new multisensory theater event, ideal for children and parents to experience together.

At X-Marks the Spot, audiences enter the theater to find a magical, low-light, communal setting. The first surprise is how fast the other four senses jump to life, ready to take in the interactive fun soon to come. Then, actors perform a spine-tingling story about a family of adventurers using a highly choreographed series of props, sounds, tastes and smells that stimulate the senses and bring the play to life.

So don't miss X-Marks the Spot, an unforgettable new theater experience that helps kids appreciate all of their senses. Performances are January 26-February 24, 2019: Saturday and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. There are added 9:30 a.m. performances Saturday and Sunday, February 2 and 3 (only).
