This sensory-inclusive performance is intended to create a welcoming and supportive environment for children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as individuals with other sensitivity issues or developmental disabilities. Slight adjustments are made to the production, including reduced sound levels, no flashing or strobe lights, and minimal special effects. An area adjacent to the theater has been designated as a quiet room with specially trained volunteers to provide audience support.

Based on The Tale of Custard the Dragon and Custard the Dragon and the Wicked Knight by Ogden Nash. Join Custard the Dragon and his friends as they embark on a musical journey in which a most unlikely hero finds true courage. Based on the whimsical stories by Ogden Nash, this musical tale follows the exploits of young Belinda and her three boastfully brave pets, Mustard the Dog, Ink the Cat, and Blink the Mouse, and one not-so-brave dragon, Custard. Yet when Belinda is confronted first by a fearsome pirate and then a wicked knight, it's Cowardly Custard who comes to the rescue. Audiences will treasure Custard's discovery that you can be brave, even when you are afraid – Real courage comes from love.
