Sensory-Friendly Performances

With the mission of inspiring young people to creative and productive lives through the art of the theater, DCT is now proud to be able to create a positive, fun atmosphere for families with sensory friendly needs. A child with autism or some other sensory challenge who loves theater and the arts will be excited about this new program at DCT and, hopefully, with the transformational experience of theater, will be inspired to creatively contribute to the world and their community in their own way.​​​​

Tickets and Seating
DCT wants to make sure families have no barriers that would prevent them from at least sampling these great opportunities created especially for them! Tickets are $5 per person. 

​​​To purchase tickets, please call the DCT Box Office at 214.740.0051. Seating for the sensory-friendly performance will be general admission. If someone in your group needs wheelchair-accessible seating, please contact us at least 24 hours in advance so that we can ensure your time here at DCT is organized and well spent.
