Social Narrative

For The

Autism Friendly Performance

Of

Palace Theatre

1564 Broadway

New York, NY 10036

Page 2: Social Narrative For The Autism Friendly …...Social Narrative For The Autism Friendly Performance Of Palace Theatre 1564 Broadway New York, NY 10036 I will go to the Palace Theatre

I will go to the

Palace Theatre

to see the show.

The theatre is located at

1564 Broadway

New York, NY 10036

I may have to stand in

line. If I stand in line I will

stay with [insert name/s]

and try to be quiet.

Inside someone will tell

us where to go. They are

called an Usher.

The Usher will scan my

ticket so I can get into the

theatre.

I can use the bathroom or

get a drink of water at the

water fountain before I go

into the theatre.

I may have to take an

elevator to get to my

seat.

I will go into the theatre.

The theatre is big.

The theatre will be

decorated to look like

Bikini Bottom. I will see

streamers on the walls.

The streamers are for

decoration and should

not be touched.

On the side of the stage

there will be a live band

playing.

There are a lot of seats in

the theatre!

I will hand my tickets to

the Usher so they can

show me where my seats

are.

The numbers on our

tickets tell us where we

have to sit. It is not a

choice.

The Usher will give us a

Playbill. A Playbill is a

book. I can look at the

Playbill with [insert

name/s].

The theatre will get dark

and quiet. I will try to be

quiet during the show so I

can hear everything.

I will see actors wearing

costumes walking on the

stage. The singers and

dancers may come close

to me. They are actors

wearing costumes and

makeup, like on

Halloween.

Real people will be

playing the characters

from SpongeBob. The

voices of the actors will

not match the voices of

the cartoon.

I will try to stay in my

seat. If I feel scared, I

can cover my ears,

squeeze a fidget, hold

[insert name/s] hand, or

hug [insert name/s]

After each song people

will clap.

Clapping tells the actors

you liked their song. If I

want to clap, I can.

During the show there will

be some loud sounds like

a siren or fog horn.

If the sounds or clapping

are too loud I can ask for

ear plugs or headphones

to help make it quieter.

There will be a break.

This is called

intermission. During the

intermission people will

leave the theatre to get a

drink, eat a snack or to

use the bathroom. I can

leave with [insert name/s]

to get a drink, eat a snack

or use the bathroom.

After the intermission

everyone will come into

the theatre and sit down

in their seats. The theatre

will get dark and quiet. I

will try to be quiet during

the show so I can hear

everything. The actors

will come on the stage

and finish the SpongeBob

show.

At the end of the show

there will be confetti and

streamers. Beach balls

will be passed around the

audience. It’s a

celebration and I can

participate.

After the show is over,

we’ll go out of the Palace

Theatre.

I am so excited to see

SpongeBob SquarePants

on Broadway!
