Accessibility

• The Touchstone and Hill Theatres are located a short walk from the parking lot.
• Shuttle buses to each theater are available for anyone who needs a ride from the shuttle stop at the east end of the parking lot. Shuttle service begins 45 minutes prior to show time. Please be at the shuttle stop at least 25 minutes before show time. Service resumes again immediately following the show.
• Please note that our shuttles are NOT wheelchair accessible, however the theaters ARE wheelchair accessible. Please call the Box Office for more information if you need wheelchair access. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the show if you need wheelchair accessible parking.
• Accessible parking and a drop-off area are available near the shuttle stop, which is to the right as you enter the parking lot. If there is a parking attendant directing traffic, please let them know of your need when you arrive so they can direct you to the correct area.

• To book accessible seating, please contact the Box Office in advance of the performance.
• Wheelchair and walker-accessible seating, including companion seating, is available in both theaters. Patrons have the option to transfer to a theater seat, or remain seated in their wheelchair.
• Each theater has one courtesy wheelchair available to transfer patrons from their vehicle to their theater seats.
• Stair-free seating is available in both theaters. Please contact the Box Office for available options.

Audio Access

• Assistive listening devices and induction loop systems are available in both theaters. The assistive listening system amplifies the actors voices and brings the sound directly into patrons’ ears via a headset or compatible hearing device.
  
• The Hill & Touchstone Theatres each feature an induction loop system. This system allows users with hearing aids equipped with a t-coil to directly connect to our listening system for a better listening experience. Patrons without a t-coil device can use a portable receiver and headset to connect to this system. These can be checked out from the Information Window at the entrance to Aisle 5 in the Hill Theatre, or from a House Staff member or Volunteer Usher in the Touchstone Theatre.
• Our receivers are compatible with standard headphones and ear buds. We do provide headphones but, if you prefer to bring your own, please feel free to do so. Your experience with the devices may be improved with the use of your own headset.
• We recommend removing any hearing aids when using an assistive listening device with headphones. Wearing headphones over your hearing aids can cause distortion and create feedback.
