Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

BBFC Ratings Info (May Contain Spoilers)
Violence
A young woman made from fire who finds it difficult to control her temper is shown unintentionally releasing flames, which harm other characters in an unrealistic fashion. There is also a very mild scene of slapstick when a child hits a character on the bottom using a baseball bat.
Threat and horror
Scenes of very mild threat include a sequence in which a daughter races to save her parents from an impending flood. She then endangers herself by trying to fetch belongings from a flooded shop, but is quickly saved. In another scene, a character made from water starts evaporating in a hot room.
Language
There is an implied use of ‘ass’ and a use of ‘jerk’.
Sex
A comic undetailed reference is made to ‘hanky panky’ when parents of a girl tell her they will have more time for it when she goes away. A character tells a young woman made of fire that she is ‘hot..’ and then stutters ‘I mean smoking’. In another comic scene a couple, who are both trees, become embarrassed when they are caught at home picking apples from each other’s branches.
Discrimination
There are references to discrimination when elemental creatures are taught never to mix. The daughter of an immigrant is subject to a microaggression when a woman compliments her on her clear speaking. When a couple arrive in a new city, they are given names that are easier to pronounce. The film’s messaging promotes love and acceptance of all cultures, within a family friendly and fantastical setting.
Rude humour
There is a very mild comic reference to poo in a short film which precedes the feature. In the same short film, a dog advises his owner to sniff his date’s bottom.
Theme
In a scene of emotional upset a character grieves the loss of another character during a fantastical death scene. The short film CARL’S DATE references a widow’s deceased wife, whose photo he kisses before going on his first date since her death.
