Phoebe & Jay Sensory-Friendly Screening

Be among the first to watch PBS KIDS' new program, Phoebe & Jay! Join us on February 1 at 1 p.m., at Iowa PBS for a special sensory-friendly screening. This relaxed environment is designed for children who may benefit from a more low-key atmosphere. The volume will be softer, the lights dimmed and audience movement is welcome. This screening will offer all the fun of the show with a few thoughtful adjustments, including a more limited capacity.

To ensure we can provide the best experience for those who need it, we kindly ask that you only reserve spots for this screening if these accommodations are necessary for you or your family. If you don't require sensory-friendly modifications, we invite you to join us at our 2 p.m. screening. 

At the event, families will grab a snack and drink before heading into the theater to watch two advance episodes on the big screen. After the screening, children will have the opportunity to participate in an activity from the Iowa PBS Education team.

Phoebe & Jay follows the adventures of the curiously charismatic 6-year-old fraternal twins, Phoebe and Jay Yarber. The program's literacy curriculum is designed to closely support preschoolers as they learn how to create and use the many types of functional texts that they encounter each day. As the twins uncover adventures in their new home, they use a flyer to help a neighbor find a lost pet and read clothing labels to find the right size shirt. Phoebe and Jay showcase for young viewers how they, too, can utilize these skills to explore their surroundings, pursue their interests, and accomplish tasks big and small in their own lives.
