Assistive Listening Devices
We have Assistive Listening Devices available for any audience members who need them. There are two ways audience members can use these devices
Monaural earbuds
Audience members without hearing aids or cochlear implants with telecoils should use the Monoaural earbuds, which go in one ear similar to over the ear earbuds.
Induction Neckloops
Audience members with hearing aids or cochlear implants with telecoils should use the Induction Neckloops which lay around your neck similar to a lanyard.
Both of these types of devices plug into a “receiver”, which can be clipped onto their clothes, held in their hand, or used in whatever way is most comfortable. Users can turn the volume up and down on the receiver.
Audience members can request these devices at our box office. There will be a sign up indicating Assistive Listening Access.
Leaving the Theater During a Performance
If you need to exit during the performance, please exit through the main entrance/exit.
