About Open Captioned Performances:
Open caption (OC) services will be provided at select performances for patrons with slight to profound hearing loss. During open captioned performances, an electronic text display is positioned to the side of the stage, which shows what the actors are saying or singing and describes sound effects on stage. Patrons are placed in select seats near the open caption board to ensure they can see both the stage and the caption board during the performance.
Tickets are $20 for each patron with slight to profound hearing loss. To reserve tickets please email access@huntingtontheatre.org or call 617-266-0800. Tickets can also be purchased online using promo code ACCESSOC.
Partial support for open captioning provided by TDF.
About Audio Described Performances:
Audio Description is a carefully timed, live narration of the visual aspects of a performance. It is broadcast via a radio transmitter to patrons who wear a single headphone receiver enabling them to hear both the on-stage dialogue and the describer’s narration.
Braille and large print programs will be available at these performances. Plan to arrive 30 minutes early for audio described program notes and set description. Guide dogs are welcome. Tickets are $20 for each blind/low-vision patron and their guests. To reserve tickets, please email access@huntingtontheatre.org or call 617-266-0800. Tickets can also be purchased online using promo code ACCESSAD.
Blind school groups are also invited to attend the Student Matinee Series, several performances of which are audio-described. Schools are provided with study and curriculum guides in advance and with preview tickets for teachers (on request). Although geared for school groups, individual blind or visually impaired students accompanied by an adult are also welcome. For student matinee information or reservations, please email education@huntingtontheatre.org.
Large print programs are available free of charge at each Huntington performance.
Access programming is sponsored in part by a grant from the Liberty Mutual Foundation. Access programming for the Student Matinee Series is supported by The Peabody Foundation, Inc.
For more information, please email access@huntingtontheatre.org or call 617-266-0800.
Both The Huntington Theatre and The Huntington Calderwood are equipped with an FM hearing enhancement system. Wired headphones and loops are available free of charge at both The Huntington Theatre and The Huntington Calderwood. Assistive listening devices are made available to patrons at all performances.
Note: Hearing aids must be removed if using one of our headsets (due to the combination creating a feedback issue).
Content advisories are written notices for our shows to let interested patrons know that a show may contain sensitive content ahead of time. These notices flag specific themes that may be upsetting so our patrons can adequately prepare themselves to engage with or, if necessary, disengage from the material.
As part of an initiative to make our scripts more accessible to ticket holders, The Huntington is pleased to provide a digital PDF version of the script for most of our productions via our website during the run of each show. Scripts are only made available to those who have purchased tickets to that production. You will receive an email with instructions on how to access your script after purchasing your ticket. Access information will also be provided in your pre-show email closer to the date of your performance. All scripts are password-protected and watermarked. Downloading the script file is strictly prohibited. Your access to the script will remain available until the last performance of the show. Reading the digital script on your device while in the theater is strongly discouraged.
