For theatregoers who are hard of hearing or deaf, low vision or blind, who cannot climb stairs, or who require aisle seating or wheelchair locations, TDF obtains special seating according to need. There is no annual fee, but you must provide evidence of eligibility.

 
Read  a Q&A in the New York Times ArtsBeat with Lisa Carling, director of TDF Accessibility Programs, about the services provided by TDF.

TDF Accessibility Members can take advantage of all the following services:

Open captioning at select performances
An electronic text display to the side of the stage shows what the actors are saying or singing and describes sound effects on stage. Check TDF Show Search for availability at a particular show.

Sign language interpreting at select performances
An interpreter uses American Sign Language to describe what the actors are saying or singing, as well as sound effects on stage.

Audio Description at select performances
A specially trained describer explains what’s happening on stage during pauses in dialogue. The describer uses a headset microphone, while individuals in need of the service listen through a receiver with a single earpiece.

Accessible seating
Members who use wheelchairs or are able to transfer from their wheelchairs into aisle seats can obtain the seating they require. Members who are low vision or blind can order tickets that place them closer to the stage and also obtain appropriate seating to accommodate guide dogs.

Tickets by mail
No waiting at the box office—and plenty of time to get settled before the curtain goes up.

Who's eligible?
Anyone who requires special seating or may benefit from open captioning, sign language interpreting or audio description services as the result of a documented physical limitation
