Join us for our Sensory Friendly Preview of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

This performance will be different from the other performances in the way lights and sound are used, and will have minimal effects, in order to provide a positive experience for those who have epilepsy, are autistic, are neurodivergent, or otherwise need or prefer a performance without intense sensory experience.

Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor, Fregley. Or maybe Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg…no way.

Jeff Kinney’s popular character takes center stage as Greg’s cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school.
