THE PATTI HEPBURN

Sensory Viewing Booth

The Naples Players’ commitment to creating an inclusive theatre experience has reached new heights with the addition of the Patti Hepburn Sensory Viewing Booth—the only known sensory-friendly booth of its kind in the nation. This unique feature, introduced during TNP’s 2024 renovations, ensures that individuals and families with sensory processing disorders can comfortably enjoy every performance on the Kizzie Theater’s main stage.

The booth offers specialized accommodations such as:

A private entrance with an elevator for limited crowd interaction
Adjustable lighting and sound
The ability to tint the window of the booth to reduce the impact of strobe lighting
No audience participation, or actors in the aisle
Wheelchair accessibility

Patrons are free to move, talk, or leave their seats as needed, ensuring a welcoming and relaxed environment. With wheelchair accessibility and thoughtful design that prioritizes comfort and autonomy, this innovative addition reflects The Naples Players’ dedication to making theatre truly accessible to all, reinforcing their mission to build community through exceptional access to the power of theatre.
