Sensory Inclusive Theatre Performances in Santa Clarita

At Olive Branch Theatricals we believe that the magic of theater needs to be enjoyed by everyone. Our Sensory Sensitive Program works to solidify that idea by reaching out to to families who may have members who have special needs or require special accommodation.

At our Sensory Sensitive performances, we provide a safe welcoming experience for families who may otherwise feel limited in their opportunity to attend a theatrical production.

Visual Supports

At our Sensory Sensitive performances, we provide a safe welcoming experience for families who normally would not feel supported in attending a theatrical production.

What Can I Expect?

  • Reading Material

    Pamphlets about what to expect at the theater to help prepare them before the production begins.

  • Preparedness

    The cast will walk out and introduce themselves before the show begins.

  • Quieter

    During our Sensory Sensitive shows, our sound is turned down to a quieter level. 

  • Brighter Space

    House lights are left up at a dim level so patrons can feel safe to get up and step out of the performance space if needed.

  • Therapy Dogs

    Therapy dogs can be found in the lobby before and after performances.
