The Color Purple (SENSORY FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE)

In order to make “THE COLOR PURPLE”  more accessible and comfortable, we will adapt the productions in the following ways:

• A Social Story Video given to patrons before the show to know what to expect at the theatre
• A welcome speech from the cast of “THE COLOR PURPLE”
• Sound cues in the production will be lowered and any sudden, loud noises during the show will be modified.
• Lights in the seating area will be dimmed rather than fully dark during the performance.
• A relaxed atmosphere allows patrons to talk and vocalize as they wish, as well as leave and re-enter the seating area as needed.
• A Calm Corner will be available in the lobby with coloring sheets, fidget toys, and sensory items if patrons need to take a breather from the show.
• Fidgets and some noise canceling headphones will be available during the show. We encourage you to bring your own as well.
• A gender-neutral family restroom will be provided.
• No ‘Shushing’ during the show. We welcome everyone to enjoy the show in the way that is most comfortable to them.
