This would typically include an opportunity to handle key props and costume and also familiarise yourself with the staging, lighting, and sounds of the production with the Stage Manager. If you are interested in arranging a touch tour, please email us at boxoffice@arcolatheatre.com or call us on 020 7503 1646.

Relaxed performances

Relaxed performances adjust light and sound, provide calm areas outside the auditorium, and welcome audience noise and movement, creating a supportive atmosphere where individuals can freely come and go.
