SENSORY FRIENDLY: Colorado Conservatory of Dance presents The Nutcracker

This is a special version of the The Nutcracker, Denver Metro’s family favorite ballet, for people with sensory needs. This performance is for those with sensory needs and their guests.

For the sensory-friendly performance, we alter the typical house rules, fostering the opportunity for audiences with special needs family members to feel welcomed in a theatre setting. The performance looks and feels identical to others on the calendar offered to the general public, but allows for authentic reactions among its audience members that may otherwise be seen as distracting in a typical theatre setting. 

Sensory Friendly Show Details: 

• House lights are left up to prevent total darkness 
• Sound levels are adjusted to a moderate, consistent level to avoid surprises or distractions 
•  Guests of Honor are encouraged to bring assistive technology into the theatre and may react to the story on stage in ways that feel correct to them (including standing, walking around, taking breaks, etc.) 
• Seating is limited to no more than half the house to ensure each audience member has adequate space around them.
