Sensory Friendly Performances
A Christmas Carol
Date: December 10, 2023 at 2pm
Location: Allen Theatre
Run time: 90 minutes with no intermission
Our aim with this sensory-friendly performance is to ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the camaraderie and thrill of theatre. We believe the joy of the performing arts should not be limited by sensory sensitivities, and we are eager to welcome all patrons to share in this unique experience.
The production and venue will be adapted with key sensory-friendly changes to create a calm and welcoming environment.
