Every child should go to the theatre because it is so magical.
It opens up the imagination and teaches you how to handle problems.”

Characteristics of Relaxed Theatre

Relaxed Theatres Rules

The usual theatre rules and norms are set aside. Audience members are free to make noise, move around, leave and re-enter the auditorium anytime.

Laid Back Environment

Sound and lighting effects are reduced to less stimulating levels. Attendance is capped at sixty percent capacity of the auditorium to create more space. A chill-out area is offered outside the auditorium for audience members who need some down-time.

Specially Adapted Play

The play is specially adapted so that the storytelling is more direct. Interactive activities are specially designed according to the needs of the audience.

Pre-show Info Pack

A pre-show info pack is sent to the audience, including the story, characters’ information and photos of the venue. This enables the audience to familiarise themselves with the upcoming theatre experience in advance.
