Accessibility

At TPM we strongly believe that making theatre accessible makes it better and leads to more exciting experiences for everyone. A show that builds in an agreement between performers, audience and a venue where unexpected outcomes are possible, allows each individual performance to become unique and compelling. This is the very essence of live performance.
