The Omaha Community Playhouse, in partnership with Autism Action Partnership, will host a sensory-friendly performance of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

This special performance is designed to create an experience that is welcoming to those with autism spectrum disorders, sensory sensitivities and other special needs. Accommodations for this performance will include:

• House lights will remain on at a low level in the theatre throughout the performance.

• Off-stage volunteers will raise glow sticks one minute prior to potentially triggering events in the production such as loud noises, bright lighting, strobe lighting, etc.

• Sensory kits will be available for those attending.

The Omaha Community Playhouse strives to create performing arts experiences that are enjoyable for all members of our community.
