Accessibility
The Shakespeare Theatre Company is committed to providing full access for people with accessibility needs. Below are some of the ways we work to ensure openness for all.
Accessible Seating
Accessible seating is available to accommodate mobility needs. A variety of accessible seating options allow patrons to transfer from a wheelchair, to reach aisle and center seats with no stairs, or to assist patrons that need more leverage for standing or more space for sitting. Chairs can also be removed to accommodate a mobility aid. The Box Office is happy to answer any questions regarding the best seating for your needs.
Assistive Listening System
A frequency modulate (FM) audio enhancement system is available for all performances. Both headset receivers and neck loops (to use with hearing aids outfitted with a “T” switch) are available at coat check in the outer lobby at the Michael R. Klein Theatre and at coat check on the Orchestra (2nd level) at Sidney Harman Hall.
