Accessibility

For patrons using wheelchairs or walkers. Ongrade entrances, elevators, railings, and wide doorways allow people easy access to all theater spaces. There is integrated seating for patrons in wheelchairs. Patrons who use other mobility aids or may need additional support can request a wheelchair to assist with transportation to their seat. Patrons wishing to transfer from a wheelchair to a seat can request to have their wheelchair stored during the performance.

Assistive Listening devices are available for hard-of-hearing patrons to assist with amplification and clarity. Patrons wear a lightweight headset, with no wires or cables, that operates with an FM signal. Please stop by the box office upon your arrival to request a headset.

Audio Description is available for patrons who are blind or have low vision. Using a lightweight headset, with no wires or cables, that operates with a FM system, patrons can hear a live, objective and concise description of the action on stage.

Open captioning is available for hard-of-hearing patrons and anyone who doesn’t want to miss a word. A screen positioned to the side of the stage displays the dialogue in real time as the action unfolds, making the performance more accessible for all.

We welcome d/Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and sign language using patrons to join American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted performances. Interpreters are positioned near the stage with seating available to ensure clear sightlines.

Large Print Programs are available at the box office.

We ask audience members to refrain from wearing colognes, perfumes or scented oils to select performances for the safety and comfort of all audience members.

Sensory Inclusive Performances are designed to welcome all patrons – those with and without disabilities – into a supportive, judgement free environment. A typical theatrical or musical performance may be overstimulating for people on the autism spectrum, with sensory processing disorders, and/or other intellectual or developmental disabilities. Modifications are made to certain technical aspects but the show remains intact. The script is never changed and the integrity of the show is never compromised.

Two River Theater’s Access Programs are made possible through support from New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
