Relaxed Performance

Theatre is for everyone

What is a relaxed performance?

A relaxed performance (RP) is a theatre experience that incorporates universal design by offering accessibility and inclusion practices that meet the physical, social, and environmental needs of patrons of all abilities, within a dramatic arts setting. We welcome you to be yourself!

Show Descriptions

Pack of Thieves
September 1st

Performance Start Time: 2pm
Show Run Time: 2 Hours and 10 minutes
Intermission: 20 minutes

The witty and cautionary tale of Robert and Jeff two middle-class suburbanites who figure they can use a little extra cash to improve their troubled lives. No problem. The two devise a ‘foolproof’ plan to steal a thoroughbred racehorse and hold it for ransom. Sounds easy right? With the help of Padre, an experienced criminal, and a pair of bumbling twins named Chip and Dale the group works through the mission. What can go wrong? Just about everything in A Pack Of Thieves.

Please note: this show outlines criminal activity in great detail although done in a funny way the content of this show could be taken out of context by some viewers
