Description

The Nutcracker: Sensory-friendly Performances

Friday, Dec. 16 and Tuesday, Dec. 27, at 2 p.m. | Benedum Center

We are thrilled to announce that we will be providing two sensory-friendly performances of The Nutcracker this upcoming season! Our sensory-friendly performances are relaxed performances that are open to all. By "relaxed" we mean a come-as-you-are atmosphere that is perfect for families with small children or those with sensory sensitivities and needing any kind of additional support. It is a judgment-free zone where performers, theater staff and patrons know that there might be additional sound and movement in the audience. Read more below or visit pbt.org.

ADAPTATIONS
  • PBT’s sensory-friendly performances feature accommodations including: 
  • House lights set to 20% brightness

  • Specially trained staff and volunteers scattered throughout the theater
  • Relaxed house rules (guests are free to move around and to enter/exit the theater space as needed)
