“Social stories and sensory supports are also available.”
“Arrange an advance visit to explore the space, find their seats, and become familiar with the theatre environment.”
“If I need a break I can go into the lobby... ...or to a quiet, cozy space nearby.”
Designated Quiet Spaces and Social Stories are both listed among the services at every performance. Meet the Seat is by arrangement.
The sample social story was written for an earlier show, Charlotte's Web. In it, a child can ask an usher for a squishy toy if they need something to hold onto.
