The story and cast stay the same, but the production is adjusted for children and adults on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities: house lights stay on low, loud or startling sounds are turned down, strobe and audience-facing lights are reduced, and the audience is free to talk, sing, move around and come and go. A lobby monitor shows the performance for anyone who needs a break, open seating leaves space between groups, and doors open 45 minutes early so children can get used to the space. Fidget-toy and noise-cancelling-headphone bags can be borrowed at the box office, and a Social Story guide is available beforehand. The show runs about 85 minutes with one intermission and is recommended for ages 3 and up. ## Similar picks in San Antonio - [ASL-Interpreted Performance — How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Magik Theatre](https://grassyknees.com/san-antonio/activities/asl-interpreted-performance-how-the-grinch-stole-christmas-at-magik-th--listing-fed7314fd3b42c27ea340d88) — Sat, Dec 5 · 2:00 PM · Magik Theatre · adaptive · checked Oct 27.
