(NUTLEY, NJ) -- Nutley Little Theatre is proud to announce a sensory friendly performance on April 22nd at 2:00pm of Tin Cat Shoes by Trish Harnetiaux, Directed by Sarah Gorden. This performance is suitable for audiences with sensitivity to sudden light and sound cues.
Tin Cat Shoes is a madcap odyssey through a wilderness of corporate bureaucracy and crippling human dependencies. Blessed with the can-do American spirit, a troop of dedicated shoe store employees embark on a journey of personal expansion. But when “work is your life” and systems break down, all that remains is you, a casino, and the truth.
The cast features Lee DeCecco as Lunch/Danny; Arthur Carlson as Narrator/911 Operator/ Rodger; Haley Karlich as Pepper; Orlando Rodriguez as Cheddar; Kayla Torres as Gemma; Richard Frohman as Rex/The Bear/Croupier.
Tickets to the sensory friendly performance are available for purchase online.
Performances take place at Nutley Little Theatre (47 Erie Place) in Nutley, New Jersey. Please note the theatre is not wheelchair accessible.
Performances of Tin Cat Shoes run from April 14th to April 29th. For tickets to other performances on other nights, click here.
The production is Directed by Sarah Gorden; Thomas Donohoe is Production Stage Manager; and Kimberly Gonzalez is Assistant Director.
