Accessibility

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 Klein Theatre and at coat check on the Orchestra (2nd level) at Harman Hall.

Noise Cancelling Headphones


For patrons with noise sensitivities, noise cancelling headphones are available at coat check in the outer lobby at the Klein Theatre and at coat check on the Orchestra (2nd level) at Harman Hall. Disposable earplugs are also available at coat check.

Open Captioning


Open-captioned performances are held for each production. To ensure the best view of the screen, choose seats in row F or behind. The single caption screen for the Klein Theatre is located in the front left box, next to the stage. Harman Hall has two caption screens, one on either side of the stage. Seating is available in all price zones for these performances. The Box Office would be happy to assist you with your seating selection.
