Sensory Friendly Performance
Kenan Auditorium strives to make its performances accessible to all our patrons. For this year's Seahawk FAM series, we're introducing three Sensory-friendly performances: Make Trouble Theatre's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shana Tucker's Chamber Soul and Wilmington Symphony Orchestra's Smaller Bites Trio.
Sensory-friendly performances are open to all families, but are designed to create a sensory experience.
Accommodations for these performances include:
- Lower sound level, especially for startling or loud sounds;
- Lights remain on a low level in the theater during the performance;
- Patrons are free to talk and leave their seats during the performance;
- Designated safe space within the auditorium;
- Kenan staff trained to be inviting and accommodating to families' needs.
