Audience seating will primarily be on the floor with cushions and mats, but there will also be seats for anyone who requires one. ACCESS An access pack will be made available before these shows. We encourage audiences to do what they need to be comfortable including stimming, using fidget toys, leaving and returning to the space when they need.
