Sensory Friendly Shows are Coming to BSCT
What is a Sensory Friendly Show?
It's a theater performance that welcomes individuals with sensory needs, including people on the autism spectrum, as well as first-time theater-goers and young children. The show is modified to provide a more calming environment, and all patrons are welcome to experience theater in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Some examples of steps we are currently taking to create such an environment include
lighting remains on at all times, and no complete black-outs
Sound effect volumes are lowered
Patrons may move around as needed
Comfort items are encouraged including things like headphones, fidgets, cushions, etc.
Extended time for intermission.
Do you have suggestions on how we might further enhance our shows for the enjoyment of those with special sensory needs? Send us a note through our Contact Us button on this website, or email us at bsctwebmaster@gmail.com.
