Children’s Theatre Company

CTC is committed to increasing access and inclusion for our community’s children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders and other sensory, social, and cognitive disabilities.

To provide a supportive and welcoming environment for children and families, dedicated Sensory Friendly performances include:

·         Reduction of loud or jarring sounds

·         Reductions in flashing or strobe lights

·         Modification of the house lights during the performance

·         Accommodated house rules: audience members are free to talk or move during the show

·         Extra staff and volunteer support.

·         Designated “Quiet Room” and “Take a Break Space”

·         Guidance and sensory supports (fidgets, earplugs, noise cancelling ear-muffs) available in the lobby before the show

Audience members are welcome to bring their own manipulatives, seat cushions, comfort objects, and extra support items to the show. Families may select their own seats, but if special assistance or a buffer seat is needed, please call 612.874.0400.
