First 'Relaxed Performance' at the VPP a Huge Success

Victoria Playhouse Petrolia (VPP) hosted a unique performance of GOOD OL' COUNTRY GOSPEL last night, in partnership with Community Living Wallaceburg. Referred to as a 'relaxed performance' the audience was filled with members of the community with sensory sensitivities, alongside their supporters, family and friends. Depending on the content of the show, various changes are made to the sound, lighting and overall guest experience to accommodate those attending. Over 150 patrons filled the theatre and had their spirits uplifted with the beautiful gospel music, singing and clapping along with the performers and even dancing from the audience.
