We are pleased to announce our first ever Sensory Friendly Performance of San Francisco Ballet’s Nutcracker on Wednesday, December 21 at 7 PM! This full-length performance will provide a relaxed, shush-free, and shame-free environment for audience members of all ages and abilities to experience this magical holiday tradition in a safe and comfortable atmosphere.

Sensory friendly performances, also called relaxed performances, are designed to create an experience in the theater for neurodiverse audiences or anyone who has sensory sensitivities that might impact their ability to feel comfortable in a typical theater-going experience. 

Celebrate the joy and magic of the holiday season! Our Nutcracker Dance-Alongs are the perfect way to prepare your family to see Nutcracker for the first time or to delight those who already know our production by heart. Participants at this workshop will step into Clara’s magical winter wonderland full of toy soldiers, twirling snowflakes, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and so much more!

A Mini Sensory Theme Park. Where children explore and parents unwind. The perfect blend of magical adventure and a well-deserved break!
