Sensory-Friendly/​Relaxed Performances

Who attends a sensory-friendly/relaxed performance?

Although open to all, these performances are offered to accommodate individuals with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, dementia, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences or challenges, and others who need a more accommodating environment.

What is a sensory-friendly/relaxed performance?

The performance focuses on relaxing or adapting the theatre-going environment for those with sensory sensitivities while maintaining the artistic vision of the show and providing an authentic live theatre experience.

What can I expect?

Pre-Performance:

• An Audience Guide will be provided in advance and distributed digitally to all ticket holders seven days prior to the performance. It is also available here.

During the performance:

• Minor adjustments to sensory elements of the production, such as lowering loud sounds and the reduction of strobe lights/strong lighting effects.
• House lights on but dimmed throughout the performance.
• Limited and socially distanced seating options and designated areas within the theatre for standing and moving around.
• Guests are welcome to exit and re-enter the theatre and to talk and express themselves vocally anytime during the performance.

• Trained staff onsite to ensure a positive experience.

How do I purchase tickets?
