This Sensory-Friendly Concert will support a welcoming and inclusive experience for people of any age with autism spectrum disorder or sensory sensitivity, as well as anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed concert environment. The relaxed house rules will allow for talking, clapping, and moving, and calming spaces will be available.

Pre-concert activities, including an instrument petting zoo, will begin one hour before the performance. Modifications such as dim lighting, quiet areas, headphones, and fidgets will be provided. Each $15 adult ticket qualifies for an Under 18 free! Staff and volunteers from the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities will be onsite to provide additional support and guidance. See above for the Social Story Guide and playlist to help prepare for your visit.
