State Theatre New Jersey’s Autism-Friendly Relaxed Performances allow families and schools with children on the autism spectrum or with other sensory sensitivities to enjoy high-quality live entertainment in a safe, welcoming, sensory-friendly environment.

At an autism-friendly Relaxed Performance you will find:

• Lighting and sound levels that are modulated to reduce anxiety and stress.
• A judgment-free environment, with a relaxed attitude toward noise and moving around during the show.
• A separate break area with soft seating, fidget toys, and activities.
• Ushers and volunteers who have been specially trained to assist you.
• A social story, provided in advance, to help you prepare your child for your trip to the theater.
