KC Ballet’s Sensory Friendly Nutcracker

We’re kicking off Season 3 of The Whole Podcast with a festive conversation to get you in the holiday spirit! The Kansas City Ballet is bringing back its Sensory Friendly Nutcracker on December 4th at 6 PM at the Kauffman Center, a magical performance designed to welcome individuals with disabilities and sensory sensitivities to experience the joy of live dance.

Joining us are Sara Riley, CEO and Founder of Riley ABA, and Kim Trudell, Manager of Strategic Partnerships at Kansas City Ballet. Together, they share how accessibility, community collaboration, and a passion for the arts unite to make this inclusive tradition possible.

To reserve tickets, call (816) 931-8993. Riley ABA proudly sponsors the Sensory Friendly Nutcracker. Learn more about their work supporting individuals with autism and their families at rileyaba.com.
