Relaxed Performances

Community Living Wallaceburg and the Victoria Playhouse in Petrolia (VPP) are partnering to make musical theatre more inclusive.

“East Coast Kitchen Party”  – Thursday, Sept 13, 2018 at 7:30 pm

Call the Victoria Playhouse Petrolia Box Office to purchase tickets at 1-800-717-7694
Or Community Living Wallaceburg 519-627-0777 ext 2505


Relaxed performances are part of a shift to make live theatre accessible to people who find the usual theater-going experience challenging. They are offered in the Chatham-Kent, Sarnia-Lambton area through a partnership with the VPP. Reduced ticket prices are made possible through a grant from the Chatham-Kent Community Foundation.

Relaxed performances are specifically designed to accommodate those who will benefit from a less restrictive audience environment.  Everyone is welcome, including but not limited to those with intellectual or learning disabilities, sensory processing conditions or autism.  There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement within the auditorium, and some minor production changes will be made to reduce the intensity of light, sound and other potentially startling effects.

“People with special needs, kids, caregivers, parents, siblings can experience a relaxed performance together”

Three upcoming performances in the 2018 season at Victoria Playhouse Petrolia will be offered in a relaxed format.
