Accessibility

Please contact our House Manager in advance if you require special assistance of any kind, such as:

  • Removal of a theatre seat to accommodate a wheelchair. We can only accomodate standard size wheelchairs;
  • Early admittance to the theatre;
  • Assistance in getting to your seats.

Please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before curtain time so our staff may comfortably assist you to your seats.

Assisted Listening System: Goodspeed Musicals strives to make musical theatre accessible to our hearing-impaired patrons by offering an infra-red hearing system at every performance at both The Goodspeed and The Terris Theatre (generously donated by Sennheiser). This system can be used independently or in conjunction with patrons’ normal hearing aids. The devices are available free of charge at the Box Office.

Service Animal Policy: Service Animals are welcome at The Goodspeed and The Terris Theatre. Under the ADA, a Service Animal is defined as “a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability.” All other animals that are not Service Animals are not allowed in either theatre.
