SUMMARY:How the Grinch Stole Christmas Sensory Friendly Performance
DESCRIPTION:A miserly and miserable\, ever-so-cantankerous Grinch has observed the despicable Christmas joy of the Whos with disdain\, from a distance\, for decades. Enough! In this CTC holiday favorite\, filled with music and Seussian rhymes\, he plots the greatest heist imaginable—stealing the very thing they love the most! Until\, that is\, the smallest of the Whos\, tiny Cindy Lou\, extends a hand. Through the combination of kindness and community\, we witness not only a change in the course of Who-History\, but the size and capacity of the old green guy’s heart.

SUMMARY:MNProv Mixer Virtual
DESCRIPTION:The MNprov Mixers are a safe place for neurodivergent adults (18+) to have fun\, meet new people\, increase confidence\, and decrease stress. No experience necessary. This event is FREE. Come every week\, or only once\, or somewhere in-between. \nImprov is inherently inclusive. All participants are needed for a scene to succeed\, and everyone’s suggestions are incorporated into the scene. The improv rule of “Yes\, and . . .” allows participants to feel safe and supported and more willing to take risks. As players say “YES” to each other and add their own ideas\, they build trust and create something brand new together. \nThis is a small group activity with fewer than 20 participants. Individuals are welcome to take breaks as needed. Participants are encouraged to let us know how we can best support them. Because this is on ZOOM\, participants from greater Minnesota have an accessible way to attend. \nA social narrative about the MNprov Mixers workshops and a registration link can be found on our website.
