Relaxed Performance
A Relaxed Performance suits anyone who prefers or needs a more flexible and relaxed performance experience.
It specifically welcomes disabled persons, but also welcomes anyone who is new or unused to being at the theatre or uncomfortable in a regular performance setting. If you are a parent to toddlers or you need to be able to move around and exit the performance for other reasons, Relaxed Performance is a perfect match.
At a Relaxed Performance there is a generous and relaxed attitude towards audience noise and movement in the auditorium. You are welcome to move around, dance, be vocal or just watch the performance. Our open-door policy makes it easy for you to exit and enter the auditorium as you please during the performance. The performance's audio levels are lower and the general lighting in the room is lighter to create a supportive atmosphere. Everyone is welcome and there is no right or wrong way to be an audience.
For current Relaxed Performances, visit our Calendar.
