Let's Get Ready to Go to the Show!

Going to the theater for the first time can be an exciting experience for children, but for some, it can also be overwhelming. To help make theater-going a more inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs created a very special pre-visit guide called Going to the Show.

Using the principals of Universal Design, Going to the Show was created for children with Sensory Processing Disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in mind, but can also be used as an effective tool to teach any child theater etiquette and help prepare them for what to expect when attending to a live performance.

Education, Outreach and Access

The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs' arts education, outreach and access programs reflect the high priority of the Department to expand opportunities for children and families, as well as create increased access and opportunities for residents and visitors to participate fully in the arts.
