Relaxed Experiences

Relaxed performances feature the same content and performers as other performances of a show, with some simple changes to the environment, including:

• Lower light and sound levels, with special effects like strobe lights and smoke removed
• House lights kept at a low level to allow movement around the auditorium
• House doors are kept open; audience members are welcome to stand, move around, and leave as need be
• Audience members are welcome to bring their own manipulatives, seat cushions, comfort objects, headphones, electronics, special snacks, and other support items to the show.
• A designated Take-A-Break Space available with quiet activities near the theater
• Trained volunteers on hand
• A Social Story that portrays the theatre-going experience with pictures and text
• A scene-by-scene summary of the plot of the show or a playlist of the concert repertoire
• The performance is a shush-free zone - audience members can talk quietly or express themselves freely during the performance
