ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES

Assistive listening devices (ALDs) amplify and clarify sound by cutting down or eliminating ambient noise. FM radio assistive listening systems are installed in all of our theaters, and headsets may be used at any seat. Headsets with induction neck-loops are available for patrons who use hearing aids and cochlear implants with a "T" switch (telecoil). Ask your audiologist whether your hearing aid or cochlear implant has a "T" switch (telecoil) and how to use it with an assistive listening headset.

Headsets are distributed 30 minutes before performances free-of-charge and on a first-come, first-served basis at the entrance to every venue at The Public by speaking to the House Manager, Ticket Taker, or a member of the Host/Hostess Staff at Joe's Pub. You may acquire a headset at the Box Office of the Delacorte Theater for Free Shakespeare in the Park.

GALAPRO CLOSED CAPTIONING AT THE DELACORTE

The Public Theater is excited to return to offering Closed Captioning for performances at The Delacorte Theater through the GalaPro mobile application (app) available for download on your smart device.  GalaPro is a first-of-its-kind mobile application that enables attendees to understand the stories unfolding on stage. GalaPro requires a one-time installation of the app. It is easily accessible and can be downloaded for free from the Apple App or Google Play store. Using their multilingual system/GalaPro provides users with the program of the performance and its show schedule. All services are provided in real-time as the show is running on stage. Their unique technology is explicitly designed to adhere to and respect the theater-going experience of all. Airplane mode is always on, so there will be no phone calls or messages, and a black screen with red or gray lettering is designed so that only the individual looking at their personal device can see the screen. This feature prevents other audience members from being disturbed or distracted. If you need any assistance with the app or have any questions or concerns, please speak to a member of The Public Theater staff for help.  Special support for GalaPro was provided by the Zegar Family Foundation, NYC Media & Entertainment, TDF, and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre.
