Virginia Stage Company is dedicated to making theatre accessible for all audience members and increasing inclusion for those on the autism spectrum, as well as first-time theatergoers and young children. The Theatre for Everyone program produces performances that are sensory-friendly. These performances are a judgment-free environment, for anyone who might benefit from an inclusive theatre experience.
