When it's quieter

“Our team keeps sound levels lower than normal and keeps the lights in the audience higher than normal”

“Audience members are free to come and go if need be” and “there is always a ‘quiet room’ available.”

  • A theater is busy or quiet by what's on stage, not by the clock. The Sensory Inclusive shows are the calm way in.
  • The Dec 8 holiday show is a little different from the Sunday series: it's a 7 pm weeknight show, and it asks for light clapping instead of waving hands.
  • Some shows have more than one price, so look at the seat map when you buy. The series continues Feb 21, Mar 14 and Jun 13, 2027.

Three things to know

  2. Ushers wear green scarves or ties and can point you to headphones, ear plugs or fidgets. The Dec 8 show has free fidget tools for everyone.
  3. Sensory Inclusive tickets start at $9 for adults and children. Parking is free in the lot on the south side of the building, with a drop-off point at the front entry.
