Embrace Autism special circus performance

The Big Apple Circus hosts a special performance of “The Grand Tour” for families with special needs on Nov. 17.

The Embrace Autism event will transport the audiences to the Roaring 1920s in ships, planes, trains, and automobiles. Clowns, jugglers, acrobats, and aerialists from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America appear with ponies, puppies and more; the troupe sets off on its own whirlwind adventure, accompanied by the live, seven-piece Big Apple band.

The Big Apple Circus has joined with autism spectrum disorder experts to adapt “The Grand Tour” for families with members on the spectrum and create a joyful experience for all.

The adapted show includes the same world-class artistry as the full performance with a shorter running time of 75 minutes, adjusted lights and sound, a calming center, pictorial social narratives, and specially trained staff and volunteers to assure a memorable event for everyone.

“The Grand Tour” Embrace Autism performance, Nov. 17 at 11 am. Tickets are $12.50 and $37.50. For special-needs seating contact customer service at (800) 922–3772.
