Description

I’m just different, and that’s okay!

The ugly duckling doesn’t look like the rest of the farmyard animals. When he leaves the nest to find out where he belongs, he meets some very “interesting” characters along the way.

Pillars of Character: Respect, Caring, Fairness

The 10:45 AM performance will have live audio description, provided by IRIS. Please contact our ticket office at 515-277-6261 if you would like to use this free service.

Join us for an exciting day of drama! Come to one session or come to all! Although open to any student, Spectrum Stories is specifically designed to provide drama experiences that best support the development of pretend play, social interaction, and non-verbal communication for students on the autism spectrum and others who may benefit from this experience. Each session is carefully designed to enhance creative expression of spectrum youth while supporting the profile marker needs of each participant. Developed with the guidance of Professor Gretta Berghammer of the University of Northern Iowa, and the Sturgis Youth Theatre, Spectrum Stories uses story, music, and art to bring imagination to life! Pre-registration online at dmplayhouse.com is encouraged but drop-ins are also welcome.

An additional emergency contact form is available at the door specifically for those who tend to elope. Parents are asked to remain in the building during class time, and may accompany their child into class if they wish.

Event Details

All you really have to do is shine!

Set in a northern English mining town, against the background of the 1984 miners’ strike, Billy Elliot the Musical follows young Billy who stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class.

Based on the 2000 film Billy Elliot, while his widowed father and older brother strike with the miners, Billy secretly finds a passion for dance with the brassy local dance teacher and ballerinas. As Billy’s world becomes overwhelmingly violent, Billy hopes to escape, dreaming of becoming a professional dancer at the Royal Ballet School. While Billy’s loving grandmother encourages his dancing, Billy’s overprotective father and the world’s insensitivity to a situation where a poor boy can make it into a prestigious dance school may stop Billy from achieving his dream.

Mainstage Content Advisory: The Playhouse does not rate subject matter as sensitivities vary from person to person. If you have questions about content, age appropriateness, or other aspects of the show (ie strobe lights and other theatrical effects), please contact the ticket office at 515-277-6261.

The performance at 2:00 PM on Sunday, Oct. 14 will have live audio description, provided by IRIS. Please contact our ticket office at 515-277-6261 if you would like to use this free service.
