Text on the left says "Relaxed Performances". On the right is an icon with a letter 'R' in a circle with two waves below.

What is a Relaxed Performance?

A relaxed performance (RP) is a performance adapted to create a more inclusive and comfortable environment.

RPs modify lighting, sound, and traditional audience expectations to reduce sensory discomfort. It is especially designed to support autistic and neuro-diverse individuals, as well as families, young children, and first-time theatregoers. Babes in arms (children aged two and under) are also welcome to our relaxed performances. Audience members are free to move around, make noise, or take breaks as needed.

2026 Performances – coming soon!
