A Sensory Friendly performance is a live-theatre production that welcomes individuals with sensory needs, including people on the autism spectrum, as well as first-time theatregoers and young children. Performances are at reduced capacity to allow for patron movement; staff and actors are trained to accommodate patron needs, and all patrons are welcome to experience theater in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

In addition, there are environmental adjustments to create a friendly, supportive environment, as well as alterations to the performance:

• The house lights will remain dimmed during the performance, rather than completely off
• The intensity of lighting and sound effects will be reduced
• A staffed quiet area will available in the lobby for children who need to take a break from the show
• There will be a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere where patrons can feel comfortable during the performance and enter or exit the theater during the performance, with the assistance of ushers
• Tablets and smartphones will be permitted to help non-verbal audience members communicate
