Round II: Disney's Mary Poppins on Broadway, #Autism, #Broadway

As many here know, we are BIG supporters of Autism due to our son Dustin and Katie Sweeney is a huge Broadway fan. Both came together last fall:

Katie and Dustin Sweeney @ Disney's Lion King for Autism

Now Round II is coming with Disney's Mary Poppins:

"Theatre Development Fund (TDF), the nation's largest not-for-profit service organization for the performing arts, is proud to continue serving the autism community with our Autism Theatre Initiative, making theatre accessible to children and adults on the autism spectrum and their families. Following the tremendous success of our autism-friendly performance of Disney's THE LION KING, TDF is delighted to offer an autism-friendly performance of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's MARY POPPINS on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 1pm.

Now in its 6th phenomenal year on Broadway, MARY POPPINS is one of the biggest stage musical successes to emerge from London and New York in recent years. For this special performance, accommodations will be made, including a supportive audience environment, designated quiet areas, adjustments to lights and sound, and online resource materials."

Tickets are available here.
