Event Description

Step into a world of colour, kindness, and creativity with The Birthday Party, a delightful show that brings life skills to the stage through the magic of puppetry. Created especially for Autism Awareness Month, this engaging performance follows a young boy and his father as they prepare for a friend’s birthday party—learning lessons in friendship, cooperation, and emotional understanding along the way. Featuring vibrant, expressive puppets and a visually immersive traditional puppet theatre setup, the show is designed to support the sensory and social needs of autistic children while offering an enriching experience for audiences of all ages. With clear emotional cues, playful storytelling, and gentle visual and auditory transitions, The Birthday Party opens a meaningful dialogue about family, empathy, and everyday challenges. The team at Colours Centre for Learning – an NGO for Autism, has conceptualised and developed The Birthday Party entirely in-house, drawing on their deep expertise in autism education, art, and theatre production. This inclusive performance is open to all children and families, and especially welcomes those in the neurodiverse community to enjoy theatre in a safe and supportive space. Whether you’re laughing along with the characters or learning new ways to connect, this production is sure to leave a lasting impression. Image courtesy: Colours Centre for Learning
