Young children with sensory disabilities will love the fantastic new Light Show, a wonderfully immersive experience where they become part of the story.

It is set in a magical paper palace where the sensory delights of nature unfold, performed to live music from a virtuoso double bass player.

The magical production comes courtesy of theatre company Oily Cart, which specialises in interactive plays for 3-11 year olds with profound and multiple learning disabilities, and those on the autistic spectrum.

It comes to Cornerstone on Tuesday 24 May (performance designed for those with profound and multiple learning difficulties) and Wednesday 25 May (specifically for those on the autistic spectrum) at 11am and 2pm on both dates.

Performers adapt the shows to the specific requirements of each individual in the audience so it is a truly unique experience that children will love.

The Light Show comes to Cornerstone on 24 and 25 May at 11am and 2pm. For tickets, call the Box Office on 01235 515144 or visit cornerstone-arts.org.

‘Entering an Oily Cart production is like entering a different world - and it’s one every child should experience.’¬†Children’s Theatre Reviews

‘It’s a show with minimal dialogue‚Äîa few of the simplest words, gently created from music and movement, touch, sight, sound and smell, too. They bring new experience and joy into lives that can be far from easy.’¬†British Theatre Guide¬†¬†¬†
