Mobile Sensory Theatre

The Omaha Community Playhouse (OCP) is proud to be in its second year of offering the VROOM! Mobile Sensory Theatre. The traveling theatre experience is designed for audiences with autism, developmental delays, or other sensory sensitivities, providing a safe and personalized experience by bringing the performance directly to their home.

OCP is the first theatre to unveil this concept in the Midwest.

VROOM! performances are immersive, interactive, theatrical experiences designed for one audience member and up to two parents, caregivers or siblings. While performers are trained to work with neurodivergent individuals, caregivers are encouraged to remain involved at every step to ensure the primary audience member feels comfortable and safe to enjoy the show. The first show performed in the VROOM! Mobile Sensory Theatre, called Starshine!, took audiences on a sensory-enriched journey through the galaxy. A new piece, set to open in 2025, will be announced soon!

Thanks to Kate and Roger Weitz, the Weitz Family Foundation, Lozier Foundation, Immanuel Vision Foundation and the generous support of individuals and organizations throughout the community, there is no cost for families in the Omaha area to experience the show.
