Sensory Friendly Performances

If your family does not require special accommodations, we encourage you to join us at one of our other performances. Because seating is limited and this is our only sensory-friendly performance, we want to make sure this opportunity is available for the families who truly need this type of environment.

Below you will find your performance time and other information on what to expect during our sensory friendly performance, including visual guides. We ask that you please arrive no less than ten minutes prior to show time so everyone has a chance to be seated before the curtain rises. Please note that we have parking available in our lot and on the street.

Sensory Friendly Show Days

We understand that every family has different needs and capacity for events. We also know that it takes a lot of preparing for events with family who need accommodations and that sometimes they may not last the entire event. Because of that all of our sensory productions are "pay what you can." All proceeds from these special performances will go directly to other non-profits in Spokane.
