Sensory-Friendly Performances

North Pointe Ballet is committed to bringing classical ballet to all types of families in Northeast Ohio and most especially those in the extrasensory community. NPB give this population an opportunity to engage in live arts experiences in their own communities at our sensory-friendly performances. One performance of every full-length ballet production run is a dedicated sensory-friendly presentation.

Recognizing that families of individuals with extrasensory and other needs often have additional financial obligations, NPB offers these families tickets at a reduced price.

NPB’s sensory-friendly performances include accommodations designed to meet the unique needs of families with individuals who have extrasensory needs:

  • House lights remaining on during the performance

  • Reduction of loud jarring sounds and strobe lighting

  • Accommodated theater rules

    Audience members may talk and move about during the performance

  • Designated Take-A-Break Space

    Sensory needs can be fulfilled while others can still enjoy the performance
