Patrons with Sensory Needs

TPAC is a certified venue with Kulture City for being sensory inclusive and welcoming to patrons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental disabilities, sensory processing disorder and other sensory-sensitive people and their families. Noise-canceling earphones, fidget toys, and weighted lap pads are available at all TPAC performances and may be checked out at one of the Guest Services Podiums.

Sensory Room at TPAC

As part of our commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive experience for all guests, TPAC is excited to introduce a new dedicated Sensory Room, located in the Polk Theater lobby.

This quiet, calming space is designed to support guests with sensory sensitivities, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), sensory processing disorders, and other neurodiverse needs. Whether a guest is feeling overwhelmed or simply needs a moment to reset, the Sensory Room offers a peaceful environment away from the stimulation of the theater and lobby spaces.

Guests from any TPAC venue are welcome to use the Sensory Room. Access is available through our Guest Services team, who are trained to assist and ensure a comfortable experience. A staff member is required in order to access the sensory room.

For more information or assistance during your visit, please speak with a member of Guest Services or contact us at Access@TPAC.org
