People's Light to Present Relaxed Performance of THE THREE MUSKETEERS This Weekend
People's Light has sold out a relaxed performance of their holiday panto THE THREE MUSKETEERS (The Later Years), the second performance of this kind to be held at the theatre.
Relaxed performances are specially adjusted sensory-friendly shows, designed to create a theatre experience that is welcoming, judgment-free, and inclusive of children and families with a wide range of sensory, learning, and communication differences, including, but not limited to individuals on the autism spectrum, as well as young children and anyone who might benefit from this relaxed environment.
To nurture an inclusive environment for all patrons, etiquette associated with standard theatre attendance will be relaxed, for example, patrons may vocalize, maneuver, and move from their seats during the performance, as needed. Specific adjustments include availability of designated quiet and safe areas in the theatre lobby; fidget and stress sensory toys available to borrow; house lights kept up partially during the entire performance and lowered sound levels; a reduction of strobe lighting; space throughout the theater for standing and movement; and gluten-free concession options. People's Light staff and artists are trained to be inviting and accommodating to families' needs.
THE THREE MUSKETEERS is a hilarious musical adventure The Philadelphia Inquirer calls "outrageously silly." Athos, Porthos, Aramis and a chicken hunt for justice against the evil Lord Mazarotti. Complete with plumed hats and sword fights, THE THREE MUSKETEERS will have you shouting "All for one and one for all!"
The relaxed performance is set for January 9, 2016 at 2pm at People's Light's Leonard C. Haas Stage, located at 39 Conestoga Road, Malvern, PA. For more information, visit www.peopleslight.org.
