SENSE Theatre Featured in Rocklin & Roseville Today

SENSE Theatre The Wizard of Oz

SENSE Theatre's "A Stage of Hope for Children with Autism joins with actors from the Magic Circle Master Series for a special production of The Wizard of Oz. SENSE Theatre is a unique intervention research program combining established behavioral science approaches alongside creative theatrical techniques to improve the social and emotional abilities of children with autism.

This special production of The Wizard of Oz will feature 14 children with autism spectrum disorders cast alongside several youth actors from the Magic Circle Theatre Master Series. Under the directorship of Blythe Corbett, Ph.D. and her SENSE Theatre team, SENSE participants will be teamed up with typically developing peer actors that will serve as "master models" of emotion, expression and social interaction. This inspiring program provides a unique opportunity for children with autism to learn, explore and express themselves in a creative, supportive and enjoyable way.
