Sensory Friendly performances are inclusive experiences for patrons of all ages and abilities. They are designed for individuals on the autism spectrum, those with sensory sensitivities and others who would like to enjoy a performance in a relaxed environment. These performances are open to all patrons.

These performances are modified to create a friendly, supportive environment, without editing or altering the content of the show. Adjustments for these performances may include:

• Access to resource materials such as social stories, picture schedules, character sheets and videos
• Reduction of jarring and dramatic sound and lighting effects
• Raised house lights
• Specially trained ushers and volunteers
• Fidgets available for use throughout the performance
• Designated quiet and activity spaces

Individuals with sensory sensibilities or invisible disabilities shouldn’t miss out on special events, experiences, and dreams. Our partner,Kulture City, creates sensory accessibility and inclusion for all. Kulture City sensory bags are designed to help sensory needs in both adults and children. Filled with items that can help lessen sensory overload and also engage individuals, the bag items are easily cleaned and sterilized for multiple uses.

Find social stories for the Byham Theater here and for the Benedum Center here.

An adult changing table is now available at the Benedum Center. It can be found in the Benedum Center's accessible restroom in the Clark Extension.

Registered service dogs and miniature horses are welcome in all of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s theaters and facilities.

The Benedum Center and Byham Theater have lactation rooms that can be used throughout performances. The Benedum lactation room is located upstairs on the Promenade level near the Patron Bar. The Byham lactation room is located in Guest Services at the top of the Ramp Lobby on the main level.
