Accessible performances
Relaxed
Relaxed performances create a more welcoming space for anyone who prefers a gentler theatre experience. You can come and go as needed, the house lights stay dim, and we tone down or remove any loud noises or flashing lights.
BSL interpreted
Everyone’s welcome at our BSL performances. A British Sign Language interpreter is on stage throughout the show, ensuring Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences can enjoy every word and moment.
We also have an infrared hearing system available — ask a member of staff at the Box Office to find out more.
Sponsorship
Support our charity panto night
OnFife is a charity, and our Charity Panto Night helps local children, families and community groups experience the joy and magic of live theatre.
We’re looking for local businesses to join us in making a difference. In return for your support, we’ll work with you to create a sponsorship package that offers valuable marketing and PR opportunities while showcasing your commitment to the local community.
Together, we can make Christmas a little more magical for people across Fife. ✨
