A select number of Omaha Performing Arts performances are designated as sensory inclusive for those with sensitivities to light, loud noises, or surprise elements of a show. These productions are presented in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Subtle changes to technical elements may include:

• low house lights
• the removal of strobe and fog effects
• avoidance of sudden changes in amplified sound

Guests may use a break area and are welcome to bring headphones, ear plugs, security objects, and tablets into the performance venue.

For performances that are not modified to be sensory inclusive, the Holland Center is still equipped with on-hand sensory kits and noise-canceling headphones for patrons to check out at the Welcome Center with a valid ID. Kit materials include sunglasses, headphones, verbal cue cards, and fidget items.

Binoculars are available to check out from the Welcome Center in the ground floor lobby with a valid ID.
