Relaxed Performances

Every performance of WOLF! is a relaxed performance, making this a great first introduction to theatre for your little ones. The lights stay on and audience members are free to wiggle and move around, making performances a welcoming space for older children with additional needs too. 

Familiarisation tours are available. For those and any other access requests, please contact our box office – email info@northernstage.co.uk, call 0191 230 5151 or pop in and see us.
