These are performances designed for individuals with sensory sensitivities, those on the autism spectrum, and other neurodiversities, but all are welcome. We encourage patrons to be thoughtful when choosing to attend these shows to ensure they align with their unique needs. Our team is available to answer any questions and to help ensure a memorable theatre experience for all.)
