RELAXED PERFORMANCE

A Royal Proclamation! Musical Theatre Productions & London Community Players are pleased to offer a relaxed performance of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA on Thursday December 1 at 7:30pm.

This performance is designed to provide a comfortable and accessible experience for everyone. During this evening’s presentation, noise from the house/audience will be welcome, and the house lights will be left on and there will be an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter. The quality of the performance is still in place, with light and sound levels adjusted to create a sensory-friendly environment. Volunteers will be available to assist all patrons throughout the event and there will be a designated relaxation area available for anyone needing a break from the show. Patrons are welcome to bring their electronic devices into the theatre and are free to come and go as they wish throughout the performance. Anyone in the community is welcome to attend this fully inclusive experience with the understanding that this performance is “Hush-Free,” and there will be a certain level of sound and movement throughout the show.

This performance is designed to provide a comfortable and accessible experience for everyone - and is especially an opportunity to welcome anyone who may not otherwise be able to enjoy the theatrical experience such as those living with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Delays, Neuromuscular Disorders, Sensory Integrative Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder; people who are d/Deaf, Hard of Hearing or deafened; those with mobility issues; and those with babes in arms, and anyone else who may feel they could benefit from this style of performance. For anyone who would not enjoy this relaxed audience environment, we invite you to attend any of our other regular performances.

Please browse our venue guide which provides a step-by-step written and visual overview of what you will experience when you come to see a performance at the Palace Theatre. It includes information like how to get tickets, access the theatre, the layout of the lobby, washrooms, and the auditorium, and accessing our accessibility features like assisted-hearing devices and the quiet room.
