Sensory-Friendly Programming

Sensory-Friendly Performances

Sensory-friendly performances are tailored for neurodiverse audiences—including individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or cognitive disabilities—by creating a safe, judgment-free environment. Key modifications include reduced sound/light intensity, dimmed house lights, designated quiet break areas, and allowed movement throughout the performance.

While the Alliance Theatre will have a number of supplies, audience members are encouraged to bring individual fidget toys as well as personal headphones.

Meet Your Seat

Meet Your Seat is an opportunity to practice the sometimes-stressful process of attending a play. At Meet Your Seat, patrons will meet with trained Alliance Theatre Staff Members and will walk through picking up tickets, scanning tickets, finding your physical seat, and go over expectations of the performance they will see. Alliance Theatre crew members and technicians will show examples of loud or bright technical elements from the production, giving patrons a chance to plan for self-regulation when they see the show.

Check back for more information on upcoming Meet Your Seat performances.
