Sensory-friendly are relaxed performances designed to be welcoming and inclusive for families of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, autism, sensory processing disorders or other conditions.
Some performance elements have been changed to accommodate the needs of individuals who are sensitive to over-stimulation that might happen during a fully staged production. This includes softened lighting effects, lowering sound levels and a reduction of sudden movements. Lights are kept higher in the theatre so audience members can see each other. Audience members are free to come and go if need be and there is a “safe room” available during the performance.
All Pete the Cat wants to do is jam. This groovy, guitar-playing, skateboarding cat finds himself placed in a loving home after a life on the streets. The Biddle family is excited to have him, and Pete quickly realizes that he and the son Jimmy Biddle couldn’t be more different. Despite that, they become fast pals, and Pete helps Jimmy find his creative side on an adventure in his VW bus. Winning their hearts and teaching them how to jam, Pete the Cat brings out the rock star in all of them.
