Sensory Signage and Information

New at PVDFest –sensory advisory signs! This year, PVDFest is partnering with Spectrum Theatre Ensemble (STE), a RI-based neurodiverse theatre company, to implement signage indicating sensory impact levels at various festival performance areas. A red sign indicates intense sensory elements, a yellow sign indicates moderate sensory elements, and a green sign indicates minimal sensory elements. There is also a designated sensory relaxed zone, away from the performance areas. Scroll through the festival’s digital map to find the sensory indicators, and keep an eye out for signage throughout the festival footprint! Stop by a PVDFest Info Booth and ask us about this and other sensory accommodations available.
