Relaxed Performances
- Relaxed performances are open to everyone, but the production and environment has been specifically designed to welcome people who will benefit from a more relaxed performance environment, including families with young children, people with an Autism Spectrum Condition, sensory and communication disorders, or a learning disability. The performances may be adapted in a number of ways in order to reduce anxiety and ensure a safe and enjoyable live theatre experience. There is a relaxed attitude to noise (voluntary and involuntary), the lights in the auditorium remain on low throughout the show, sudden loud noises are softened and audience members are free to leave and re-enter the auditorium at any point. We also have additional staff on hand to assist with seating and access around the Theatre and a space is available in the foyers for audience members who would like a quiet space before and during the performance.
- A Visual Story for those visiting The Hexagon is available to view or download here. Familiarisation visits for those for whom new venues can cause anxiety are available under arrangement by contacting boxoffice@reading.gov.uk
- These shows are for anyone and we encourage anyone who wishes to discuss their requirements further to contact us.
