• Many shows have floor cushions and elevated “bench style” seating. 
• Some performances will require everyone to remove their shoes before entering. 
• Some stools and chairs will be made available to those who require them
• We ask that you leave large backpacks at the box office, we will look after them!
• We will seat families with infants in the VIP Baby section close to the aisle or exit just in case the baby is fussy and to avoid disrupting the show for others. 

PHOTOGRAPHY

There is absolutely no photography or recording of any kind allowed during the performance with the exception of official photography undertaken by the festival. Don’t worry! There will be time at the end of each show for pictures!

WELCOME POLICY

• We strive to provide a welcoming and relaxed environment for our young guests and to facilitate a stress-free, tear-free experience. Our venue hosts and front of house staff have experience working with children and are committed to offering the most positive experience for you and yours. 
• Shows are presented in a Relaxed Format which means there are no complete blackouts, sudden loud noises. 
• We respect and celebrate diversity in all its forms including racial, gender, cultural, and neurological diversity.
• We respect and welcome all diverse models of family, parenting, and caregiving.
• All responses are welcome and valid. We have a “no shushing” policy. That being said, if your child does not wish to be in the theatre or is crying, please take them out for a break.  We will help you. 

AFTER THE SHOW

• We will have spaces for arts activities after the show to allow your child to reflect and draw so if you can linger, please do!
• We do not have paper programs but will have a display with show information and our social handles so you can tell everyone how much fun you had.
