What is a Sensory-Friendly Performance?

While Theatre Raleigh strives to make all performances accessible, sensory-friendly performances are specifically designed to create a performing arts experience that is welcoming to all families — including children and adults with autism or other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities.

Sensory-friendly performances include:

  • Lower sound level, reduction of loud or startling sound
  • Reductions in flashing or strobe light
  • House lights remain on at a low level during the performance
  • Audience members are free to talk or move during the show, including leaving their seats during the performance
  • Designated space for standing, movement, as well as quiet area
  • Fewer tickets sold for that performance
  • Extra support from trained staff and volunteers

If you have any questions or specific accommodation requests, please contact Morgan Parpan, Education Director, at education@theatreraleigh.com or (919) 832-9997 ext. 1005

Additional pre-visit materials coming soon.
