Branching Out is an original work of sensory-immersive theater with music, created by Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, specifically designed for individuals on the autism spectrum and those who may have limited movement, sensory and/or complex communication needs.

This multi-sensory theatrical experience is about a journey through the four seasons.

The production is an intimate experience for small audiences of twenty people per performance. Branching Out will be presented at Tilles Center in 2025. For more information email tillesartsed@liu.edu.
