Scarborough's theatre in the round runs relaxed performances with a cast introduction, softer sound effects and lights that never go fully dark. Ear defenders are free to borrow and a carer can come along at the lowest ticket price.
What they offer
- Quiet or relaxed timesRelaxed performances where it is fine to make noise, move around or leave, with an introduction to the actors, softer sudden sounds and low lighting that never goes fully dark; all performances of the Christmas show for under sixes are Chilled.
- Ear defenders or sensory kitEar defenders can be borrowed free from the kiosk in the Upper Foyer; ask at Box Office.
- Carer ticketYou and one carer can buy tickets at the lowest price available for your chosen performance.
