Snow White – Relaxed Performance, starring local community group Funky Feet.

This inclusive version of the spectacular Christmas Panto at Thameside Theatre has become an annual tradition.

Relaxed performances are designed to welcome people who benefit from a more relaxed performance environment – this includes audience members with sensory and communication needs, or those that like to learn in different ways.

The performance will have a relaxed attitude to noise and movement. Changes to the light and sound will mean this show has no flashing lights or pyrotechnics, making it suitable for those with light sensitive epilepsy and other sensitivity issues.

It will be all the usual fun but with the volume turned down, the houselights left up and no sudden noises or bangs!

You can come and go as you please into the breakout area in the foyer and enjoy the show how you want to. It's perfect for anyone who may need an environment where nothing feels overwhelming or unpleasant.

The theatre is happy for audience members to arrange a visit before the show to look around, get familiar with the surroundings and even sit in their seats to make sure they are suitable.

Everyone is welcome to the panto but it may not be suitable for children under 3 years-old.

The performance lasts about 2 hours, including a 20-minute interval. Doors open at 5:30pm.
