• Four Showcase performances over Friday and Saturday

• ALL tellers perform DIFFERENT stories for EACH Showcase

• SHOWCASE #1 - Friday, 11/7, 7:30 to 8:30pm

• SENSORY FRIENDLY SHOWCASE - Saturday, 11/8, 10:00am to 12:00pm

• SHOWCASE #2 - Saturday, 11/8, 1:30 to 3:30pm

• SHOWCASE #3 - Saturday, 11/8, 7 to 9pm

  NOTE: The SENSORY FRIENDLY SHOWCASE is offered in conjunction with the Specialized Recreation & Inclusion Services - Town of Cary.

• Sensory Friendly:  We will only fill 75 seats for this performance, giving more space and less stimulation. The performance will also feature low lighting instead of a fully darkened theater, slightly lower volumes, and an area for folks to take a break and move while the performance is broadcast on a TV. This showcase is wiggle and movement-friendly, and we don’t expect silence from the audience.

• All performances are family-friendly

• Presented by The Town of Cary and the North Carolina Storytelling Guild
