THE AUDIENCE CLUB We believe that there are many theatre, dance and music performances that could be enjoyed by adults with learning disabilities here at the Exeter Northcott Theatre and at partner venues across the city. The Audience Club offers subsidised tickets which can be bought as single tickets or in bundles for the season. The Audience Club is a safe and familiar group supported by regular volunteers to make going to the theatre a great and accessible social activity. The Audience Club is run by Encounter Theatre & Therapy in partnership with Exeter Northcott Theatre and Exeter Phoenix with support from Theatre Alibi.
