About the show: Self-proclaimed cynic Flora Belle Buckman is ten years old and loves comic books. When she sees a squirrel about to be vacuumed up by her neighbor, she jumps into action to save him, like any good comic book hero would do. The squirrel, who she names Ulysses, emerges from the vacuum endowed with super powers of flight and poetry. In this heartfelt adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s 2014 Newbery Medal winning novel, Flora, Ulysses and their friend William embark on adventures that solve the problems of the heart with love, courage and understanding.

Sensory Friendly Information: The performances on Saturday, November 3 at 2pm and Saturday, November 10 at 2pm will be Sensory Friendly, meaning these performances will be modified slightly to ensure a welcoming, supportive environment for individuals on the Autism spectrum, or with other developmental differences or sensory needs. Modifications may include:
Lessened/softer sound and lighting effects
Fewer seats sold to allow more space between families and groups
A "break space" for those who need to step away from the performance
Permission of snacks in the theater
Pre-show materials to help familiarize our audience members with the theater
