Social Narrative

for the

TDF Autism-Friendly

Performance of

Vivian Beaumont Theater

at Lincoln Center

150 W 65th St. New York, NY 10023

I will go to the

Vivian Beaumont Theater

at Lincoln Center to see

the show.

The theater is located at

150 W 65th St. New York,

NY 10023.

I may have to stand in

line. If I stand in line I will

stay with [insert name/s].

The Usher will scan my

ticket so I can get into

the theatre.

Then, when I am inside

the theatre, there are

more ushers who will tell

us where to go.

I can use the bathroom

or get a drink of water at

the water fountain before

I go to my seat.

I will go into the theater.

The theater is big.

There are a lot of seats in

the theatre! I may need

to use stairs to get to my

seat.

There are a lot of seats in

the theater!

I will hand my tickets to

the Usher so they can

show me where my seats

are.

The numbers on our

tickets tell us where we

have to sit. It is not a

choice.

The Usher will give us a

Playbill. A Playbill is a

book. I can look at the

Playbill with [insert

name/s].

The theater will get dark

and quiet. I will try to be

quiet during the show so

I can hear everything.

I will see actors wearing

costumes walking on the

stage. The singers and

dancers may come close

to me. They are actors

wearing costumes and

makeup, like on

Halloween.

I will try to stay in my

seat. If I feel scared, I

can cover my ears,

squeeze a fidget, hold

[insert name/s] hand, or

hug [insert name/s]

If the show is ever too

loud or too bright I can

take a break in one of the

Break Areas.

In those areas there are

bean bag chairs and

mats I can lay on.

Once I feel better I can

go back into the theatre

to enjoy the show!

After each song people

will clap.

Clapping tells the actors

you liked their song. If I

want to clap, I can.

If the clapping is too loud

I can ask a volunteer for

ear plugs or headphones

to help make it quieter.

There will be a break.

This is called

intermission. During the

intermission people will

leave the theatre to get a

drink, eat a snack or to

use the bathroom. I can

leave with [insert name/s]

to get a drink, eat a

snack or use the

bathroom.

After the intermission

everyone will come into

the theater and sit down

in their seats. The theatre

will get dark and quiet. I

will try to be quiet during

the show so I can hear

everything. The actors

will come on the stage

and finish the show,

My Fair Lady.

After the show is over,

we’ll go out of the

Vivian Beaumont

Theater.

I am so excited to see

My Fair Lady on

Broadway!
