Tickets on Sale Friday for BergenPAC's Kidz Cabaret Series

The Kidz Cabaret Series at bergenPAC will now feature sensory-friendly performances. With an intimate setting in the theater's Drapkin Cabaret & Lounge, the long-running series introduces the performing arts to young children, ages 3-7. These shows let children interact directly with performers and experience the joy of live theater up close. bergenPAC hopes to now make the series even more welcoming to families with children with autism or other disabilities.

In addition to general admission seating, sensory-friendly performances are designed to make patrons more comfortable with aspects like softer sound levels and keeping the room's lights on at a lower level. Patrons are free to stand, move around and talk during the performance. The theater staff is also trained to be accommodating and welcoming to families' needs.

The 2018 Kidz Cabaret Series includes Turtle Dance Music on Feb. 20, 2017; Gizmo Guys on March 3, 2018; Story Pirates: Greatest Hits on April 28, 2018; Bubble Trouble on June 2, 2018. All performances are at 1 and 3 p.m. and tickets are $19. Save $5 off each ticket when purchasing 3 or more shows at the box office. Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 1, 2017 at 11 a.m. at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling bergenPAC's Box Office at (201) 227-1030.
