Who may attend & how to purchase
Cincinnati Ballet is working closely with community groups from all over the city to reach out to as many of our friends and neighbors with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Sensitivity as possible. Sensory friendly performances are a unique opportunity for people who otherwise might be unable to experience the magic of live ballet.
If you would believe this performance would be a fit for you and your family, but have not received information through one of our partnering community groups please contact the Cincinnati Ballet Box Office for more information at 513-621-5282.
