WHAT IS A RELAXED PERFORMANCE? 

If you are a parent, guardian, or work with people with learning or sensory disabilities – such as those on the autism spectrum – you’ll know how difficult it can sometimes be for them to attend regular theatre performances; loud noises, lighting effects and large crowds can make stage shows overwhelming. 

At Altrincham Garrick Playhouse, we believe that everyone should be able to experience the magic and wonder of live theatre, and our Relaxed Performance of Goldilocks and the Three Bears will provide the same fantastical Pantomime but with an atmosphere and attitude in the auditorium that makes everyone feel comfortable and safe. 

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR RELAXED PERFORMANCE: 

At a Relaxed Performed, you are free to: 

- Come and go from the auditorium as you wish, even during the show 

- Express yourself as loudly as you like, or with physical movement, without judgement 

- Access the Theatre and auditorium early. You’ll also notice that we will reduce the sound and lighting to lessen sensory overload, and no pyrotechnics or loud bangs will appear in the performance.
