If you have any questions, or need assistance booking tickets, please contact us at 416.504.7529, or by email at info@passemuraille.on.ca.
All performances in the #BeyondTO Festival are relaxed performances. There will be an introduction before the performance introducing the actors, letting audiences know about the events inside the show. Dim houselights will stay up throughout the show, and an Active Listener will be available.
*Please note that due to the nature of the show, Scored in Silence will offer a different relaxed performance experience. The lighting in the space will still be quite dark, therefore if you need to exit a Front of House Manager will be in the space to escort you out with a flashlight. If you leave the performance mid-show you won’t be able to return however there will be a room with a live-stream of the performance playing close by so you are able to join that room to watch the remainder of the show.
