Blackfriars aiming to support local Special Needs families

Monday 2nd December

Blackfriars Theatre are planning a special 'Quiet Show' for this years Pantomime aimed at families with children or adults who have special needs and do not feel comfortable attending a normal theatre performance. 

As one of the ony theatres in Lincolnshire who now have full disabled access both on stage and front of house Blackfriars Theatre are keen to open their doors to the many local familes who have children with all manner of special needs. 

This 'Quiet Show' will aim to reduce the bangs and flashes that some children and adults find dificult and open the auditorium up to families who would otherwise not feel comfortable coming to a public performance. Bring the wonder of Pantomime to all families! 

The show is scheduled for Saturday 28th Dec at 11am and enquiries / reservations are being taken over email or phone by our Marketing Manager Andrea who has personal experience with special children herself and is keen to ensure that everyone has the chance to see 'Live Theatre' here at Blackfriars.

Blackfriars undoubtedly plays a very important role as Boston's centre for entertainment and the arts. It is home to two very successful local amateur dramatic and operatic groups, as well as hosting a varied program of professional stage productions.
