Roxey Ballet is proud to offer a relaxed, sensory-friendly performance of the fairytale classic Cinderella for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other sensitivity issues or special needs. This performance is also great for families with young children. Performances are held at The College of New Jersey’s Kendall Main Stage Theater, 2000 Pennington Rd. Ewing, NJ 08628.

Tickets $20 for this performance.

What makes it "sensory-friendly"?
A friendly, supportive environment for families with a loved one with special needs. Adaptations to the performance are slight, including:

lower sound levels

elimination of potentially startling special effects and lighting

house lights on at about 50%

PLUS, at this performance we have:

relaxed house rules -- you are free to get up, move around, and leave whenever you need to

allowed use of iPads and other electronics for therapeutic uses

volunteers scattered throughout the theater to assist and direct audience members as needed

quiet areas and activity areas in the lobby for taking a break

fidget objects and earplugs available

certified staff, ushers, and volunteers from a wide variety of autism service agencies, schools, and organizations

Our Autism Response Team (ART) is specially trained to connect people with autism, their families, and caretakers to information, tools, and resources.
