Audio Described Performance of Mother Goose - The Pantomime

Circa Theatre aims to make our theatre accessible for everyone, and part of that mandate is providing audio described performances. Audio description is the method of describing the non-verbal action in a play into headsets worn by blind and visually impaired audience members, so that they can have as complete a theatre experience as possible. Circa has presented two audio described performances before, in 2011 and 2012, and we would like to continue with this momentum.

Circa would like to audio describe the performance of Mother Goose - The Pantomime on Sunday, 15 December. This will be the first play we audio describe that is suitable for children as well as adults. The cost of hiring the equipment and the audio describer (who puts in hours of work before the actual performance) is too great for Circa's limited budget. We will therefore need to raise the $1500 required to make this performance happen.

Please help if you can!

Circa's pantomimes have been a Christmas tradition for the last nine years - a fun theatre treat for the whole family. The season of Mother Goose at Circa is the World Premiere of a brand new pantomime, and is sure to be a good time!

16 November ? 22 December

A Golden Egg of a show - Mother Goose is well worth a gander! These Christmas holidays join Mother Goose and her friends on a flight of fantasy in an unmissable pantomime adventure. Mother Goose hits the jackpot when Lucy the goose starts laying golden eggs. But it's not enough for her to just feather her own nest - she wants youth, beauty and a total makeover as well. With an abundance of fun, comedy, costume and songs, Mother Goose is a must-see crackin' eggs-trava-gander of a Panto!

The season of Mother Goose is dedicated to the memory of Paul Jenden.
