Accessible Theatre
Every show in Auckland Theatre Company’s performance calendar includes three different types of accessible performance, removing barriers faced by Deaf and disabled theatre goers. Accessible performances are the same as every other performance, but offer resources and inclusive features to support access.
Deaf and disabled patrons can get $20 tickets to NZSL Interpreted, Audio Described, and Relaxed performances. One additional ticket per theatre-goer is also available for $20.
More information on the Relaxed, Audio described, and NZSL performances can be found by clicking the pictures on each page, including how to book for each type of performance.
