We’re lifting the curtain on…

Relaxed Performances

If you have learning or sensory disabilities, or care for someone who does, you’ll understand how difficult it would be to attend a regular theatre performance.

With lighting effects, loud noises and large crowds, stage shows can seem really overwhelming. But at the Sunderland Empire, we believe everyone should be able to experience the magic of theatre.

Relaxed Performances provide the exact same production as a typical audience would enjoy, with an atmosphere and attitude in the auditorium that makes everyone feel safe and comfortable.

Feel fully prepared with our Visual Story

Soon, we’ll be able to offer you a Visual Story of the performance you’ll be seeing. This will walk you through your entire theatre trip, explaining the facilities available to you and what will happen when.

You’ll get to read about the characters, the performance itself and how we’re making things as stress-free as possible for you. So you don’t need to worry about what’s going on around you, and can simply enjoy the show.

The Visual story for Snow White will be available soon.
