This is a Sensory Friendly Performance. Everyone is welcome.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre.

PTK’s Sensory-Friendly Performances are designed to create a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive theatre experience for individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, disabilities, or anyone who may benefit from a more relaxed performance environment.

During this performance, adjustments may be made to lighting and sound levels, and audience members are welcome to move, make sounds, or step out of the theatre as needed. A quiet space will be available for anyone who needs a break, and our staff and volunteers understand that everyone experiences theatre differently. Families and caregivers can relax and enjoy the performance without worrying about traditional theatre etiquette.

At the Public Theatre of Kentucky, we believe theatre should never be elitist or exclusive. Our little “jewel box” theatre belongs to everyone, and we want every person who enters our doors to know:

You belong here.

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of Christmas—liars, thieves, and absolute terrors. So naturally, they take over the town’s Christmas pageant. What follows is a wildly funny, unexpectedly moving holiday tradition that turns mayhem into meaning.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson is a joyful reminder that the true spirit of Christmas can come from the most unlikely places—and that sometimes the messiest stories are the ones that matter most.
