North Pointe Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker is an imaginative staging unlike you’ve ever seen before. The holiday classic is brought to life through use of integrated live narration that guides the audience through the story and enchants all ages with thrilling theatrical elements and colorful larger-than-life sets and costumes.

NPB’s sensory-friendly performances include accommodations designed to meet the unique needs of families with individuals who have extrasensory needs. These accommodations include: reduction of loud jarring sounds and strobe lighting, accommodated house rules that allow audience members to talk and move about during the performance, extra staff/volunteer support, and a designated “take a break” space where sensory needs can be fulfilled while others can still enjoy the performance.

Recognizing that families of special needs individuals often have additional financial obligations to provide specialized therapy and care for their family members with exceptionalities, NPB offers these families tickets at a reduced price.
