WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
Both the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts and the Lucie Stern Theatre offer accessible parking and wheelchair ramps. Wheelchair spaces in both venues can be purchased with up to one companion seat. Patrons who purchase a wheelchair space must have their own wheelchair or walker to sit in for the duration of the performance. Companion seats may not be purchased without also purchasing a wheelchair space.
AUDIO DESCRIBED PERFORMANCES
Audio description is a verbal commentary that tells patrons who are visually impaired what is happening on the stage during the parts of the performance where there is no dialogue. We've partnered with Gravity to provide audio description for specific performances. During the show, professionals will provide clear and engaging descriptions of the meaningful visual details of the performance via individual headsets. To utilize the service, please pre-register through our Box Office (650.463.1960 or boxoffice@theatreworks.org) when you buy your ticket, as the service includes a pre-show talk thirty minutes before the performance.

OPEN CAPTIONED PERFORMANCES
Open captioning is a text display of words and sounds heard during an event, and is provided for patrons with hearing loss. We've partnered with c2 Caption Coalition to offer live performance captioning for specific performances. During the show, a screen displaying all dialogue and sound-effects helps patrons follow the action no matter what level of hearing they have. The screen is visible throughout the theatre, but most visible to seats on the right-hand side of the auditorium, towards the front.
