NEW - Open Captioning Performances
The service helps patrons with mild to complete hearing loss enjoy theater
as never before. Individuals who enjoy captioned television, videos and movies can now enjoy this option at the

Performances with this service feature a text display located to the side of the stage that scrolls the dialogue and lyrics in synchronicity with the performance. Seating is located in a reserved section. No more than four tickets per patron may be purchased in the reserved section. No more than two may be purchased at the reduced rate.
