When little Shizu hides in her Otosan’s suitcase and secretly travels to his most dangerous destination The North, her presence is a big surprise and an even bigger nuisance to her gruff, no-nonsense father. Facing snowy owls, white wolves and grizzly bears in the most remote of locations, Otosan and Shizu must learn to tackle challenges together, eventually learning how to communicate their love. Inspired by Co-creator Shizuka Kai’s real-life experience with her father, a wildlife videographer, Otosan is a beautifully told story that uses puppetry, real wildlife projections and an original score to take the audience on an immersive journey.

What is a Relaxed Performance?
Relaxed Performances are for audience members who would benefit from a less restrictive audience environment, including people on the Autism spectrum, people with sensory and communication disorders, people with anxiety, and more. The show will be adjusted to reduce sensory intensity, and audience members are welcome to make noise without being shushed, use their phone on silent, and move around and fidget as needed. Audience members will be able to check in with the performers before the show to see the puppets and ask about any intense moments, and a “Chill-Out Zone” will be available in the lobby for anyone who needs a break from the show.
