Blue Man Group Chicago's Fall Performance Schedule Announced

Blue Man Group, continuing its open run at Chicago's Briar Street Theatre (3133 N. Halsted), is delighted to announce its fall 2019 performance schedule. The expansive calendar includes a special autism-friendly performance Sunday, October 6.

As part of the October 6 autism-friendly performance, slight modifications will be made to the Chicago production in order to create a sensory-friendly experience that better accommodates individuals and families affected by autism. The Briar Street Theatre lobby will be transformed into a calming environment complete with bean bags, dim lighting and quiet corners for anyone seeking a sensory break from the excitement of the show. Sound and lighting levels will be modified at select moments during the performance and noise isolating headphones will be available for individuals upon request.
