A night at the theatre should start with clear access information
The full theatre-access planning guide is now available. Read it here.A night at the theatre should be about the story, not a last-minute scramble to find out whether you can get to your seat or follow the performance.
Today I’m looking at Theatre Access NYC, the resource created by TDF and The Broadway League. It brings together information about wheelchair seating, captions, audio description, assistive listening and autism-friendly performances on Broadway and beyond.
The practical part matters: check the exact show, date and service, then confirm the details you need with the venue before buying. An accessibility symbol is a starting point, not your whole plan.
At noon, I’ll share a fuller guide to the questions worth asking. We deserve a good night out, with fewer surprises at the door.
