EGG to Close 2015-16 Family Series at Halloran Centre

The Halloran Centre at the Orpheum presents EGG, the final show in the 2015-2016 Orpheum Family series on Friday, April 15th at 6:30 PM and with a special sensory-friendly performance on Saturday, April 16th at 11:00 AM.

Saturday's special sensory-friendly performance of EGG is designed to create a performing arts experience that is welcoming to all families with children with autism or with other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities.

This magical story of friendship and empathy unfolds on a rustic set, exquisitely constructed out of twigs, feathers and shell. Join three madcap birds on an adventure of a lifetime as they grapple with growing up and giving in to their natural instincts to take flight. The story of Egg is told through physical theatre, illusion, & music, creating a sophisticated, non-verbal exploration of the theme of "flying the nest." An enchanting story of friendship and wonder. A tale of three birds.... and an egg! EGG is recommended for kids ages 3 to 8.
