First Stage announced last week that families in Milwaukee can enjoy a Sensory Friendly Performance with children who need sensory accommodations so that they can share the experience of seeing family-friendly theater. 

These performances feature a welcoming environment including modified lighting and sound, modified house rules to allow additional movement or talking during the performance, and available quiet areas staffed by educators experienced with the care of young people on the autism spectrum or with other developmental differences. A Social Story to outline the experience at the performance is also provided.
Tickets for the 2021/22 Sensory Friendly Performances are $10 and are on sale now. Guests can order by phone at (414) 267-2961, weekdays 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. 

Please note: tickets for Sensory Friendly Performances are only available to order by phone; no online purchase is available.)
