ACCESSIBILITY

It’s important to the Jungle to offer a theatrical experience that can be enjoyed by all audience members and patrons. We invite you to discover how our access services can help make sure your visit is exactly what you need.

PATRONS WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING

American Sign Language Performance

American Sign Language (ASL) is the art of speaking with visual-gesture language. This enables patrons who are deaf to have access to this theatrical performance. A certified interpreter signs the play dialogue from the front of the house.  Please contact the box office a few weeks prior to your desired performance to arrange for an ASL interpreter. 

Open Captioning performances 

Open Captioning is live text displayed simultaneously to the performance. As opposed to closed captioning, open captions do not require the user to have any special equipment for viewing the text and are always “open” to anyone.

Infrared Listening Devices

For patrons with impaired hearing, listening devices are available free of charge.
Please see the House Manager at your performance for details.

 

PATRONS WHO ARE BLIND OR HAVE LOW VISION

Audio Described Performance

Audio description is the art of speaking pictorially.  This enables patrons who are blind or visually impaired to have access to this theatrical performance.  Through this service, a trained describer tells the listener about the sets, costumes, and non-verbal onstage action via a portable broadcast system.

Attached is a copy of the Jungle’s ADA plan.
