SENSORY-FRIENDLY
What makes a performance “sensory-friendly?”
• L ower sound level, especially for startling or loud sounds.
PERFORMANCES
• G uests are free to talk, leave their seats and move freely during the performance.
• D esignated quiet areas within the theater.
• H ouse lights will be left on low throughout the performance.
Playhouse Square is committed to ensuring
that the widest possible audience in Northeast
Ohio has the opportunity to experience the
transformative power of the arts, regardless of
their age or ability. To further this commitment,
the Community Engagement & Education
Department will give individuals with
autism, sensory challenges or developmental
disabilities the opportunity to enjoy the fine
arts by presenting special sensory-friendly
performances during the season.
For individuals with sensory, social and
cognitive disabilities, a trip to the theater can
be challenging. While entertaining for many
audience members, the bright lights, big voices
and theatrics typical of a traditional theater
experience can quickly lead to sensory overload.
For specifically designated performances,
Playhouse Square will transform into a sensory-
friendly, comfortable and judgment-free space
that is welcoming to all.
