We believe the arts should be accessible for everyone. In partnership with ArtsAccess, PlayMakers offers many services for patrons who are blind, deaf or hearing impaired. These include assistive listening devices, large-print and Braille playbills, and tactile tours of our sets (with prior notice). We also offer audio-description and sign language interpretation of our performances on nights we call All Access.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES:
Both of our theatres are equipped with FM sound systems that amplify the sound from the stage. We offer two different types of Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs). The first is a traditional headset, which is worn over the ears with hearing aids removed. The second is a T-coil neckloop, which is worn around the neck and transmits sound directly through your hearing aid. The neckloop will work with all hearing aids that have activated T-coils.
Both headsets and neckloops are available to patrons on a first-come, first-served basis and can be obtained from our Coat Check, located to the left of the Box Office.
LARGE-PRINT AND BRAILLE PROGRAMS, TACTILE SET TOURS
Large-print and braille programs are available upon request from our concessions stand. Tactile tours of our sets can be arranged with prior notice. To schedule a tour, please contact Whitney White, Audience Services Manager (whitneywhite@unc.edu)
