Sensory Friendly Performances

PRESENTED BY FIRST STAGE THEATER

Enjoy a performance where families with children who need sensory accommodations can share the experience of seeing family-friendly theater in a welcoming environment.

Sensory Friendly performance accommodations include:

  • Smaller audience size 
  • Reduction of loud or jarring sounds
  • Reductions in flashing or strobe lights
  • Modification of the house lights during the performance
  • Accommodated house rules: audience members are free to talk or move during the show
  • An opportunity to see the actors in costume prior to the performance
  • Quiet areas available, staffed by educators experienced with the care of students with Autism or with other developmental disabilities
  • Patrons are welcome to use sensory items such as noise-cancelling headphones or fidgets in the theater during the performance
  • TV monitors available in the Todd Wehr Theater lobby from which to view the performance, should an audience member need to leave the theater during the performance
  • Money back guarantee: If you realize before the performance that a trip to the theater will not be ideal for your family on that day, we will offer a ticket exchange to another performance of your choice or a refund of your ticket purchase.
