UMMTA is committed to making performances accessible to the widest possible audience. We recognise that there may be a variety of barriers to attending theatre: finances, distance, travel time, and more. UMMTA has a limited amount of discounted tickets for each show to help reduce these barriers. If you believe these barriers (or others) prevent you from attending the show, please contact the Sitzprobe Equity Officer Nabila Malik through email (sitzprobe@ummta.org) with your preferred performance date. Please note that your tickets will only be confirmed once you have received a confirmation email from our Equity Officer.

Open Captions
Please note that all performances will be captioned. If you would like to be closer to the captioning screen (located at the front of the stage) please let us know in the accessibility requirements section when purchasing your tickets so a seat can be reserved for you.

AUSLAN Interpreted Performance
Our Friday performance will be AUSLAN interpreted. If you would like to be closer to the interpreters, please let us know in the accessibility requirements section when purchasing your tickets so that a seat can be reserved for you.

Relaxed Performance
Our Saturday Matinee performance is a Relaxed Performance. This will mean that the house lights stay on at a low level and sudden flashes and sound effects will be omitted from the performance. A 'Relaxed Pack' (information pack) will be released on UMMTA's social media very soon detailing the contents of the performance, content warnings, and a guide to loud noises/sensory surprises that may occur.

Companion Card
If you require a companion to accompany you to this performance, please specify in the accessibility requirements section and we will issue you a companion ticket at no charge to card holders.
