Sensory Friendly Performances are Back!

December 7, 2018 by redbranchtheaterco Leave a Comment

Sensory-Friendly Performances are back at Red Branch! Our sensory-friendly performance is designed to be more accessible to those on the autism spectrum or others with sensory sensitivities.

The 2:00 pm performance on Sunday, December 16th of Curious George: The Golden Meatball will be a Sensory-Friendly(SF) performance!

How will our Sensory-Friendly Performance of Curious George be different?

  • House lights will be left on at a low level
  • Other lighting effects will be reduced in intensity or eliminated completely
  • Sound levels will be adjusted to a lower level
  • Selected technical effects will be adjusted to reduce startling or surprising moments
  • Space will be reserved between each party to allow extra room for those who might need to move more freely while they watch the show, or exit a row during the performance
  • Preparatory materials will be provided ahead of the performance to help families know what to expect from both the performance and the performance experience
  • Patrons are permitted to bring personal sensory supports for their use during the performance, as well as personal communication aids (iPads, smartphones, and other devices)
  • A designated “break space” will be available in the lobby for those who might feel overwhelmed or need to take a quiet moment

Tickets range in price from $15 to $20 and are on sale right now. Call 410-997-9352. Our box office staff is excited to help you find the perfect seats for your family
