Relaxed Performances: For every mainstage show in our season, Children’s Performing Arts hosts a relaxed performance. This allows patrons with sensory, social, physical, and cognitive needs to attend a production in a safe and welcoming environment. Modifications to this performance include lights remaining dim in the audience, elimination of intense lighting and sound effects, and audiences being free to move around the space and make any noises they need to make. Fidgets, noise-canceling headphones, and modified seating are also welcome into the space!
All Relaxed Performances are pay-what-you-can and advance reservations are not needed. For any questions regarding Relaxed Performances please contact Maddie Ripperger at maddier@childrensperformingartsmn.org.
You can find our most updated social narrative for Forest Lake High School HERE, for Lakes International Language Academy HERE, and for Hanifl Performing Arts Center HERE.
Group Rate: The group rate allows patrons to receive a 15% discount on regular-priced tickets for 10 or more people. To purchase on our website patrons can select tickets as usual (Adult, Student, and Senior) and add the discount code CPAGROUP.
Tickets can also be reserved in advance via email or over the phone. All orders must be purchased in full, two weeks prior to the performance. If tickets are not purchased two weeks prior to the scheduled performance, the order will be released for individual sales.

Patrons are limited to buying four pay-what-you-can tickets per production and the tickets are first come, first served.
