The Dark
Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark lives in the basement. It doesn't visit Laszlo in his room. Until one night it does...
Join Laszlo on his journey to meet the dark, and find out why it will never bother him again. The Dark is accessible for blind and visually impaired children through integrated audio-description and touch tours.
Touch Tour at 1pm
From the book by Lemony Snicket, illustrated by Jon Klassen and presented by Peut-Être Theatre
