What actually is an At Home show?

We know it’s not every day that a whole show comes to your house! Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions…

What is an At Home show?

Our At Home shows are made for and with families who experience barriers to attending live shows. InSideWays has been made with the same budget and resource as a touring theatre show, so what you’ll receive is not a compromised version of ‘real’ theatre – InSideWays is the real thing, in its best version. From us to you!

InSideWays is a show with no performers, just beautifully-crafted sensory objects and activities, a soundtrack, and instructions, so that your family can bring the magic to life together in the privacy of your home. YOU go on the adventure, and have your own unique and magical journey through the SideWays world.
