encoremediagroup.com/programs 21 STG’s First Sensory-Friendly Performance

On January 5th, STG proudly made history by presenting and selling-out our first sensory-friendly performance of Disney’s The Lion King. Special accommodations were made in order to make The Paramount a more welcoming and inclusive theatre for patrons with sensory difficulties. The house lights were on at 50%, sound levels were lowered and designated sensory areas with trained staffed were on each floor. Over 2,700 children and adults experienced this unique opportunity to enjoy musical theatre in a supportive and judgment-free environment tailored to meet their needs.

Many families affected by autism or facing other sensory processing difficulties often forego live performances due to fear of disrupting traditionally quiet audiences or because of financial constraints. STG mounted the presentation to increase access to this growing population—providing accommodations for a range of sensory needs and an affordable ticket price.

The response to this sensory-friendly performance was overwhelmingly positive, affirming the need for more such programming throughout our community. STG looks forward to building on the success of this show to continue expanding access for a range of programs in our three theatres!

30 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP STG at a Glance

One of STG’s core values is to serve as stewards of Seattle’s historic Paramount, Moore, and Neptune Theatres, and part of our commitment to keeping these spaces healthy and vibrant is to welcome a new generation of visitors and patrons to experience their magic firsthand. That’s why STG is proud to offer free Historic Theatres Tours, led by members of our well-versed volunteer staff.

“Over 450,000 patrons pass through the doors of The Paramount each year. These free tours give the public a chance to learn more about this historic Theatre while giving them a glimpse behind the scenes.” - Josh LaBelle, Executive Director of Seattle Theatre Group

Tours of the Paramount Theatre take place on the first Saturday of every month and guests should meet in front of the main entrance, on the corner of 9th and Pine. Tours of the Moore Theatre are the second Saturday of every month and guests should meet in front of the main entrance, on the corner of 2nd and Virginia. Neptune Tours are the third Saturday of every month and guests should meet in front of the main entrance, on the corner of NE 45th St. & Brooklyn Ave. All tours begin at 10 a.m.

Additionally, Seattle Theatre Group is able to schedule tours upon request for student groups ages 7 and up. This is an excellent way for students to experience the technical aspects of the stage, take a behind-the-scenes look at backstage operations, and get an introduction to the history of the building.

For more information on STG’s Historic Theatre Tours, and to access virtual tours of the Paramount, Moore, and Neptune, please visit STGPresents.org/tours Bob Cerelli on this page by photos
