Sensory Friendly

We offer sensory-friendly versions of all of our Mainstage shows. Here’s what sensory-friendly means at the Puppet Co.:

  • Dimmed house lights on for the entire performance

  • Back doors of the theater remain open for easy access to the lobby

  • Lower intensity volume

  • No use of fog or strobe lights

Pinocchio will have a sensory-friendly performance on Saturday, June 15th at 11:30am.

This page will continually be updated with the most accurate date information!
