 The Huntington offers ASL interpretation for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing at designated performances.

Seating for each ASL-interpreted performance is located in the orchestra, house left. Tickets are $20 each for Deaf patrons and their guests. To reserve tickets please email access@huntingtontheatre.org or call 617-266-0800.

Deaf/hard-of-hearing school groups are also invited to attend the Student Matinee Series, several performances of which are ASL-interpreted. Schools are provided with study and curriculum guides in advance and with preview tickets for teachers (on request). Although geared toward school groups, individual Deaf or hard-of-hearing students accompanied by an adult are also welcome. For student matinee information or reservations, please email  education@huntingtontheatre.org. 

These programs are supported in part by the Liberty Mutual Foundation.

Both the Huntington Avenue Theatre and the Calderwood Pavilion are equipped with an FM hearing enhancement system. Wired headphones and loops are available free of charge at both the Huntington Theatre and the Calderwood Pavilion. 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). 

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.

Partial support for open captioning provided by TDF.
