We finally got around to seeing The Red Kite Round-up, which is a wonderful theater experience designed by Chicago Children's Theater for young people on the autism spectrum. This sensory-friendly performance involves lots of audience-participation, and is filled with sights, sounds and structure that make it so appealing to those with autism. There is even a social story that can be downloaded from their website -- www.theredkiteproject.org. I also know that one of the young adults who was working at the show has autism. Hats off to Chicago Children's Theater for their creativity and compassion in creating such a sensitive program for young people with autism who are so often unable to enjoy going to the theater!
