A Christmas production of Aladdin is being performed at Wandsworth Civic Suite this month, with two specially adapted performances being held for those with sensitivity to sensory stimuli. The performance is open to all, and is ideal for children aged 3 –11. 

The two specific performances will use adapted lighting and special effects, with low house lights to reduce anxiety in any audience members. There will be a ‘chill out room’ available throughout the show for those who desire a quiet space either during or after the performance. 

The theatre is offering familiarisation visits for audience members who wish to view the auditorium prior to the show, as well as an opportunity for individuals to meet the actors after the performance. Wandsworth Civic Suite has stated that meeting the cast may help ‘to close the circle of understanding for people who have difficulties with flexibility of imagination’.
