Fargo Moorhead Community Theater

Sensory Friendly Performances

FMCT is committed to increasing access and inclusion for our community’s children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders and other sensory, social, and cognitive disabilities.

To provide a supportive and welcoming environment for children and families, dedicated Sensory Friendly performances include:

• Reduction of loud or jarring sounds

• Reductions in flashing or bright lights

• Lights remain on at a low level during the performance

• Audience members are free to talk or move during the show

• Extra staff and volunteer support

• Designated “Quiet Room” and “Take a Break Space”

• Guidance and sensory supports (fidgets, earplugs, noise canceling headphones) are available in the lobby before the show

Audience members are welcome to bring their own manipulatives, seat cushions, comfort objects, and extra support items to the show. Families may select their own seats, but if special assistance or a buffer seat is needed, please call 701-235-1901.​

Talk to your Occupational Therapist

Your Occupational Therapist can help you get the equipment that your child needs. DME (Durable medical equipment) and Adaptive Equipment are things that your OT can assess the need for and help you obtain, even paid for through insurance.
