Prima Theatre Announces Sensory-Friendly Performance of The Motown Club
LANCASTER, PA — Audience members of all abilities are invited to experience The Motown Club in a welcoming, sensory-friendly performance on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Prima Theatre.
Designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, this relaxed performance creates a supportive environment especially for individuals and families with intellectual or physical disabilities, while preserving the energy, joy, and unforgettable music of Motown.
The sensory-friendly performance is part of Prima’s Creative Current initiative, generously sponsored by Sylvia and Benjamin Kauffman.
What to Expect
Guests attending the performance can expect:
- Adjusted sensory environment with dimmed house lights that never go fully dark and reduced sound levels throughout the performance
- Gentle audience preparation before any potentially startling moments
- Accessible seating with integrated wheelchair and companion seating options
- A flexible theatre experience where guests are welcome to move, vocalize, or step out as needed
- Additional space and comfort, with seating intentionally capped below capacity
- Quiet “chill-out” zones available nearby
Table seating is available toward the front of the theatre, with traditional elevated row seating available on risers toward the back.
“Prima’s sensory-friendly performances are about creating a space where people can just exhale and be fully themselves. No pretending. No pressure. Just beauty, joy, belonging, and the freedom to experience art as you are,” said Tessa Balencic, Prima’s Impact Advancement Director.
Balencic continued, “We love being able to offer these performances to the community and partner with local nonprofits to make sure tickets are accessible to everyone who needs them. Because joy and belonging shouldn’t be rare experiences. They should be something more and more people get to step into.”
